Located at the Research Center onNanoscience and Nanotechnology(CIN2), CSIC, at the campus of Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB) the Biodeposition Unit consists of a versatile and automated molecular printer that can dispense minute volumes of solutions (from atto to femtoliter volumes) on a wide variety of surfaces to create user-defined patterns of spots or lines with high spatial resolution. The system is suitable for the functionalization of biosensors with any kind of biomolecule, nanoparticles, graphene or other nanostructures,for surface patterning for cell culture, or for the preparation of micro/nanoarrays, among other applications. The laboratory also harbors a Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) service. The Unit is coordinated by Prof. LauraM. Lechuga, group leader from the Nanobiosensorsand Bioanalytical Applications Group (nanoB2A) at CIN2-CSIC.
FOR THOSE SERVICES IDENTIFIED AS OUTSTANDING, AT LEAST 20% OF THEIR CAPACITY IS OPEN UNDER COMPETITIVE ACCESS. SEE ANNEX 1 OF ACCESS PROTOCOL FOR DETAILS ON % OF OPENNESS FOR EACH SERVICE

The 15th edition of the Webometrics Ranking of World Universities has been published, ranking researchers in Spain as well as Spaniards doing research abroad. A total of 11 Directors of NANBIOSIS units appear on the most recent list, featured on the top 2000. The list is ordered by the h-index, a metric that calculates research impact based on a correlation of papers published and number of citations, and then by number of citations. The result is a list of whose’s publications have had more impact online. NANBIOSIS researchers featured are Fernando Albericio (#207), scientific director of U3 Synthesis of Peptides[...]
