On October 23, 2025, the BCD Group had the pleasure of welcoming Prof. Joana Loureiro from the Laboratory for Process Engineering, Environment, Biotechnology and Energy (LEPABE), Universidade do Porto (Portugal), who delivered an inspiring seminar entitled âChallenges in the Design
Last week, members of the BCD Group represented our team at leading scientific conferences across China, strengthening our international collaborations and sharing our latest research in biomaterials and tissue engineering. Dr. MĂłnica Echeverry RendĂłn (Principal Investigator) visited the Research Center
PhD Opportunity (start Jan 2026) â IMDEA Materials seeks a motivated PhD candidate to join a regional project funded by the Community of Madrid. Interdisciplinary work combining experimental biology, materials engineering and computational modelling (digital twins). Research topics: advanced in-vitro
In late August, our group leader Dr. MĂłnica Echeverry-RendĂłn visited the Faculty of Chemistry and Biology at Universidad de Santiago de Chile, invited by Dr. Jonathan AndrĂ©s Ortiz. She presented the talks âMetals That Save Livesâ and âMedicine Ă la
