Other topics covered included new organoid-based therapies, supramolecular devices and biointerfaces, enzymatic nanomotors, and innovative diagnostic strategies for tuberculosis, breast cancer, and inflammatory diseases. The conference also explored the application of artificial intelligence in clinical diagnosis and novel therapeutic approaches for liver failure and acute kidney injury.<\/p>\n<p>The conference featured sessions jointly moderated by researchers from both institutions, concluding with closing remarks by <strong>Josep Samitier Mart\u00ed<\/strong>, IBEC\u2019s director.\u00a0\u201cThis meeting allows us to continue building a space for international cooperation where bioengineering is put at the service of more precise, personalised and effective medicine,\u201d said the director.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Promoting young researchers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>On 28 November, a smaller meeting was held to promote young researchers from both institutions. During the morning, twelve postdoctoral researchers presented their latest work in areas such as hyperpolarised magnetic resonance imaging, microphysiological platforms, bioactive hydrogels, mucosal vaccines, structural proteomics and nanobiotechnology.\u00a0The day ended with a tour of the IBEC laboratories and the Barcelona Science Park (PCB) scientific platforms.<\/p>\n<p>The third IBEC-WCH Precision Medicine Conference reaffirmed IBEC and West China Hospital\u2019s shared commitment to advancing cutting-edge biomedical technologies. This collaboration strengthens scientific relations between Spain and China, promoting the development of innovative solutions for diagnosing and treating complex diseases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bb Link to the news: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ibecbarcelona.eu\/the-ibec-and-west-china-hospital-hold-their-third-joint-conference-on-precision-medicine-in-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IBEC website [+]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and West China Hospital of Sichuan University (WCHSU) held their third IBEC\u2013WCH Precision Medicine Conference at the Barcelona Science Park, where, over the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":107807,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[231],"class_list":["post-107812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-science","tag-ibec-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
