Researchers at the UAB, in collaboration with the UB and the company Litoclean, manage to decontaminate an aquifer with a high concentration of organochlorine compounds bieostimulating biologically with the use of bacteria capable of breaking down these compounds. They have applied a novel methodology which allows diagnosing the viability of biological treatments for the decontamination of aquifers. The study is published in the lastest edition of Water Research.
The 10th edition of the UAB Research Park entrepreneurial programme will begin on Wednesday 16 October. The objective of the programme's thirty participants will be to launch innovative and multidisciplinary projects prepared to solve challenges within the smart food sector.
From 22 to 25 October, over 2,000 researchers and professionals from the field of gene and cell therapy will meet at Barcelona for the European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ESGCT) 27th Annual Congress, organised jointly with the Spanish Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (SETGyC), and taking place at the Barcelona International Convention Centre (CCIB).
The Agency for Business Competitiveness (ACCIÓ) of the Government of Catalonia has become one of the new members of the Hub b30, an initiative put forth by the UAB, the UAB Research Park, Eurecat and the B30 Area Association to foster innovation in the region.
The ICN2 is expanding its collaboration with the global network of Microsoft Quantum Labs in furtherance of the goal of developing a scalable quantum computer - a vastly more powerful informatics tool based on radically different physics principles. The ICN2 laboratories will provide atomic-scale measurements, analysis, and modelling of new materials.
An international research group led by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has developed the Sustain-T online learning platform for sustainable tourism aimed at helping micro and small companies of the tourism sector in Europe.
The ClearFarm project will design a sensor-based platform capable of informing on the state of welfare of farm animals. It will thus help producers optimise the production process and consumers have more information on the origins of these animal products.
A UAB project to advance in the search for an effective therapy for Parkinson's disease has been chosen by the crowdfunding platform Precipita. Funding will go towards further studies of the SynuClean-D molecule, which has already proven to be efficient in stopping and reverting the neurodegeneration causing this disease in cell cultures and a simple animal model.
CERTA recently put into practice the first pilot and demonstration plant for the packaging of liquid foods treated with ultra high pressure homogenization (UHPH). This technology, the result of the university research, makes it possible to offer a more stable preservation of juices, dairy products wines and broth in cartons at room temperature and without using additives.
