• Intrammural Projects: The group NANOMED-IBEC started this year two intramural projects: Chon- dronanonet and E-Leukemia (E-leukemia was qualified as project of excellence by ANEP) . The project chondronanonet has been selected to be evaluated for its transfer to the industry .
• National Competitive Projects: The group is involved in the preparation of two manuscripts derived from the work developed within the framework of the Oligocodes project (in colaboration with the CIBER-BBN group GQNA-CSIC) .
• European Projects: the NANOMED-IBEC group participates in a highly innovative project of the Eu- ropean FET-Open program PLANTOID .
• Transfer Projects to the industry: NANOMED-IBEC and Genomica S .A .U . (Grupo Zeltia) company, the leading Spanish company in molecular diagnostics, created a Joint Research Unit that will provide an operational framework for close interaction on various R&D activities related to healthcare, inclu- ding the development of a diagnostic device which will be clinically validated .
• Other collaborating companies: Nanoimmunotech, Zeu-inmunotec S .L ., Enantia, Talleres Fiestas S .L ., Biokit S .A ., Microfluidics Chip Shop GmbH
• Transfer of Clinical Research: The NANOMED-IBEC group established a collaboration with the Hos- pital Vall d’Hebron to develop a sensor for the early diagnostics of prostate cancer (project funded through FIS ISCIII) . NANOMED-IBEC is in collaboration with the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona in a pro- ject for the detection of neurodegenerative diseases .
• Initiatives involving NANOMED-IBEC as coordinator or partner; The NANOMED-IBEC group coordinates the relevant Spanish node of the Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) on healthy living and active ageing and manages the Spanish Nanomedicine Platform (Nanomed) and the Health UB campus (HUBc) . Moreover, NANOMED-IBEC group participate as advisor in the European Commission’s Key Enabling Technologies (KET) .
• Grants: Elena Martínez (affiliated member to the NANOMED-IBEC group) received the prestigious Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council .
