| BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANIZATION |
| |
The Laboratory of Nanobioengineering Research managed by Prof. Josep Samitier is situated in the Barcelona Science Park and earmarked to become a pioneering research centre in biomedical engineering on nanometric scale. The Laboratory of Nanobioengineering Research is a multidisciplinary centre in which investigators from the Accredited Centre for Research in Bioelectronics and Nanobioscience (CBEN) of the UB and the centre for Research in Biomedical Engineering (CREB) of the UPC carry out joint research. It is also involved in joint projects with researchers from other universities or those contracted through reincorporation programmes for doctors or technicians. |
|
| |
The laboratory also has access to powerful technological facilities which, in addition to the usual scientific services of the PCB (culture rooms, characterization services), include the Nanotechnology Platform, which offers services such as nano-manufacturing, nano-manipulation and the analysis and characterization of nanotechnologies using such techniques as focused ion beam lithography, nanoimprint lithography, hot embossing lithography, polymer processing and photolithography, chemical wet etching, e-beam evaporation, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy, scanning near-field optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, molecular force probe, white light interferometric profiler, dip pen lithography. |
| |
|
| |
| MAIN TASKS WITHIN THE PROJECT |
UB is the coordinator of WP5 and its main task is related to the set up of micro and nanotechnologies for endoluminal diagnostic probes. |
| |
|
| |
| PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE |
The Laboratory of Nanobioengineering has been involved in several European projects including MAXIMA, DEMAC, BARMINT, NEXUSTAK, MINIMAN, CMOSSENS, GLASSGAS, MICRoN, SpotNosed, and CellPROM, and is involved in the NanoBiotechnology Network of Excellence NANO2LIFE. The main research areas are nanobiosensors, lab on chip, nanofabrication, single molecule bionanophotonics, biomolecular interactions, bionanocharacterization and manipulation. |
