• APPLICATION OF SUPERCRITICAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE PREPARATION OF POROUS SYSTEMS . Ba- sed on the application of carbonic anhydride in supercritical conditions for the preparation of clean bioactive polymer systems and composites for different applications . The technology allows the deve- lopment of systems for Tissue Engineering and drug delivery systems . Also the preparation of systems with bioactive compounds sensitive to the pH or temperature are considered in this section .

During 2014, the GBP-CSIC carried out research projects with groups of excellence participating in the CIBER-BBN network, through HOT-SCAFF and NANOVITE intramural CIBER-BBN projects, and a project in collaboration with clinicians external to CIBER-BBN funded by CIBER- ECO Foundation (Foundation for the Research of the Hospital Universitario of Getafe, Madrid) . It has collaborated with companies from the bio- medical sectors, by setting up of R+D contracts through the INNPACTO program (PROCUSENS and BACT- DENT projects) . Other specific contracts subscribed directly with companies such as LVD BIOTECH and INIB- SA, have been developed and have given excellent results . In particular this success is reflected in the filling of 1 patent, setting up of procedures and even in products in the vascular, dental and ocular fields . On the other hand, the members of the groups published 18 publications in SCI journals and attended more than 10 international and national conferences presenting invited lectures .
The importance given to specialized training through the PhD programs should also be underlined, with two theses presented and defended at the Complutense University and several PhD theses in progress . Also the interchange of several PhD and Post doctoral students with foreign Universities has been carried out .
At national level the group has organized the XII Jornadas sobre Biomateriales y el Entorno Celular in Ávila, 14th February 2014, with the participation of more than 40 delegates . At international level, the group or- ganized the UNESCO Catedra Course of University of La Havana, Cube, during the days 17 – 21 November 2014, and the International Course dedicated to Tissue Engineering Applied for the Treatment of Cardiovas- cular Diseases and Diabetes, in Merida Yucatán, Mexico, during 8 – 10 March 2014 .
During December 2014 the group has received the first award INIBSA granted by the General Foundation of University of Salamanca for Regenerative Medicine in the Musculoskeletal Apparatus, funded by the company .
