2013 has been a consolidation year for the Biomaterials group in Tecnalia, both in
Highlights
terms of internal organization and focus of R&D activities. For human resources,
Dr. Joseba oyarbide has been taken on by Tecnalia, and Dr. Nerea Argarate is now

the assigned researcher to the Capacity Programme, reinforcing the team to face

new future research challenges.

On the financial side, the group was granted several relevant Basque government
projects in the field of 3D printing, strategic research on multifunctional Au nano-

particles for therapy and in vitro/in vivo diagnostics of cancer.

Several actions has been carried out to reinforce international cooperations (Bra-
zilian students for trainning in San Sebastian, research project with Serbia, new

proposal with Paraguay).

In the field of CIBER activities, the team has consolidated the commintment

through two intramural projects (Teltis and Oligocodes) and try to obtain a third
new one.

Furthermore, two European patent applications have been extended to PCT.

Finally, the group maintained the status of its authorizationfrom the Ministry of

Health as Test Laboratory of the 0318 Notified Organism for “Biocompatibility
UNE-EN-10993”.
