The event, that this year took place for the first time online, was focused on “Bioengineering for Future & Precision Medicine”. With more than 400 registered attendees, the event also counted with contributions from top international speakers.

 

A project led by IBMB-CSIC tests molecules that stop the cytokine storm caused by SARS-CoV-2 Blog Post

A team of researchers led by Timothy Thomson’s group from the Barcelona Institute of Molecular Biology (IBMB-CSIC), based at the Barcelona Science Park, has developed a platform that allows to see in real-time if a drug inhibits the immune cellular response caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. The project has the advantage that all the molecules being tested are previously known drugs and compounds that are used for other clinical indications. This would expedite the necessary procedures to propose, in due course, the use in patients with COVID-19.

 

Researchers reveal the evolutionary events leading to the creation of eukaryotic cells Blog Post

A collaborative study between the groups of Toni Gabaldón, ICREA researcher at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) and Berend Snel at the University of Utrecht, has reconstructed the evolutionary events leading to the creation of eukaryotic cells, the precursors to virtually all life you can see with the naked eye. The work, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, reveals that The evolutionary timeline from simple bacterial cells to complex eukaryotic cells progressed differently than previously thought.
