PLATFORMS
One of the global objectives of CIBER-BBN is to share resources and infrastructures between groups .
CIBER-BBN platforms are clusters of technical-scientific equipment with a specific functionality, intended for offering high-level technological resources to CIBER-BBN research groups and external groups, under the established conditions .
CIBER-BBN Platforms
HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTING PLATFORM
• High-performance computing, massive storage and software unit for biomedical applications .
46 CIBER-BBN » Annual report 2014
Units:
General Objective:
To provide technical support and advising for projects, especially those related to the line of Multimodal Diagnostics, allowing remote access to all users .
Purpose and functionality:
This platform provides service by means of remote access to run numerical model simu- lations requiring high-powered calculation: mesh processing, image segmenting, data and image or model simulation recording, finite elements simulation, 3D modelling .
BIOMOLECULE PRODUCTION PLATFORM
Units:
• • •
Protein production Antibody production Peptide synthesis
General Objective:
To advise and provide a sufficient amount of biological molecules to correctly carry out intramural projects, provide external value-added services without creating a conflict with the existing business network, to keep activity outside the research activity of the coordinating group .
Purpose and functionality:
This platform provides biological molecules which are currently peptide and protein in nature and necessary for carrying out projects relating to the strategic lines of Smart Devices, Prostheses and Implants, Tissue Engineering, and especially Nanodiagnostics and Therapeutic Nanosystems . They offer services for the customized design and pro- duction of these elements for:
• • • •
Functionalizing nanosystems Functionalizing implants and prostheses Providing essential elements in regenerative and angiogenic processes Functionalizing surfaces
BIOMATERIAL AND NANOPARTICLE PRODUCTION PLATFORM
Units:
• Biodeposition and biodetection • Rapid prototyping • Molecular Biomaterial Processing and Nanostructuring • Nanolithography / E-beam • Micro/nanoelectronics • Nanoparticle synthesis • Drug formulation.
General Objective:
To advise and provide materials for correctly carrying out projects requiring them, kee- ping activity outside the research activity of the coordinating group and to provide external high value-added services, taking advantage of the experience of the groups to provide solutions to technological problem solving .
