Molecular Gate S.L. aims to become a key player in the anti-counterfeiting industry, particularly in the health sector. The cost-effective technology developed by the company will ensure the authenticity of pharmaceutical products using smart optical printed elements on the products.
Researchers from the UAB, IFAE and University College London propose using the variations in distance between the Earth and the Moon, which can be measured with a precision of less than a centimeter, as a new gravitational wave detector within a frequency range that current devices cannot detect. The research, which could pave the way for the detection of signals from the early universe, was published recently in Physical Review Letters.
The technology-based company INBRAIN Neuroelectronics will develop patented technology from CSIC, ICN2, ICREA, CIBERBBN, UAB and IDIBAPS, through an agreement recently signed with these institutions. The spin-off, which develops graphene-based applications for neurological diseases, was founded by researchers from IMB-CNM-CSIC, ICN2 and ICREA, who are also in harge of leading some of the research areas of the Graphene Flagship.
On the occasion of World Brain Week 2022, from 14 to 17 March, the UAB Institute of Neuroscience and the CORE in Mental Health have organised a new edition of talks within the Cervella't cycle. The talks will deal with, among other topics, how and why psychosis occurs, the effects of electroconvulsive therapy or how to combat obesity using virtual reality. Participation will be virtual, prior registration.
The competition to find the best presentation of a PhD thesis under 5 minutes will take place on 18 May at 11:30 a.m. A total of twelve PhD students from the UAB will give an oral presentation of their research. The two top presentations will receive 1st and 2nd prize, and a third prize will be awarded to the one most liked by the public.
A team from IEEC and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has developed the algorithm to steer the signals sent from ground to the EGNOS satellites and broadcast back to EGNOS users.
The round table “Co-designing an inclusive Europe - Migrations and migrants in the EU” will bring together 10 European projects and representatives of 135 institutions from 34 countries inside and outside the European Union.
Researchers from the IBB and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology recently published an article in Trends in Biochemical Sciences proposing a new research line for the study of Parkinson’s disease, based on the identification of human endogenous peptides that selectively block the toxic aggregates causing the disease, and which could lead to the development of innovative treatment alternatives to prevent cognitive decline.
The UAB will be celebrating International Women's Day, 8 March, with a series of activities. The institutional event will be held on Thursday 10 March, and recognition will be given to Faculty of Law lecturer Encarna Bodelón, specialist in women's rights and director of the research group Antígona.
