These awards, now in their 22nd edition, recognize scientific careers of excellence that significantly contribute to the development of health sciences in Spain.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The research developed by <strong>Xavier Trepat,<\/strong> principal investigator of IBEC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/ibecbarcelona.eu\/es\/integrative\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Integrative Cell and Tissue Dynamics group<\/a>, aims to understand how cells and tissues grow, invade, move, and regenerate in various physiological and pathophysiological processes. To achieve this, he has developed and patented several technologies that measure cellular mechanical properties at the micro- and nano-scale. The jury commends the pioneering and original technologies led by Trepat\u2019s group, which have been adopted in numerous laboratories worldwide and have represented a paradigm shift in the field of mechanobiology.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The movement of cancer cells during metastasis is governed by physical forces.
