Successfully concluded the IBUB-TEC symposium “Real Time PCR y secuenciación masiva de DNA”, in collaboration with Roche |
The symposium IBUB-Roche, fist symposium of the IBUB-TEC series of scientific and technological seminars promoted by IBUB, took place last November 12th at the Faculty of Biology with a multitudinous success. More than 500 people were attending the meeting and a peripheral site had to be established in order to provide service to the massive attendance. The experience of collaboration with the company (Roche, in this case) and with Serveis Cientifico-Tècnics has been optimal to provide the biomedical research community an updated offer for improvement and upgrading technological capacities.

Presentation of SINTEFARMA, center of the Network of Centers of Technological Innovation Support Network (IT) of the Generalitat of Catalonia, led by an IBUB group |
The Center for Research and Development in Organic Synthesis for the chemical-pharmaceutical Industry (SINTEFARMA) has been presented on 5th of December at a ceremony in Aula Magna of the Faculty of Pharmacy. SINTEFARMA, located at the Unit of Organic Chemistry, Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics Chemistry of the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Barcelona, is a center of the Network of Centers of Technological Innovation Support Network (IT) of the Generalitat of Catalonia, created with the objective of promoting technology transfer and collaboration with the industrial sector, providing advice and services in the field of organic synthesis and conducting applied research projects of technological interest for companies . The research group promoting SINTEFARMA, led by Dr. Joan Bosch, is a founding member of the IBUB, and from our institute we welcome this initiative which once again shows the momentum and dynamism of biomedical research on campus Diagonal of our University. Congratulations and many successes with this initiative from the IBUB!

The Laboratory of Molecular Physiology, Department of Biochemistry and
Molecular Biology- IBUB, the Spanish leader in research on ion channels |
The independent portal "Ion Channel, Patch Clamp and Electrophysiology
Research led by Ion Channel Media Group Ltd.
(http://www.ionchannels.org), which produces a ranking of the world
laboratories and research with impact in the area of the Ion Channels has
recognized the Laboratory of Molecular Physiology, Department of Biochemistry and
Molecular Biology of the Institute of Biomedicine (IBUB) led by Dr.
Antonio Felipe, in the 109 worldwide position during the year 2008 for its contributions to this scientific area. This position places the Laboratory of Dr.
Felipe at the first position in the ranking of the Spanish laboratories in this research field in 2008. One of the main scientific contributions leading to this recognition was the publication selected by the IBUB as “article of the month” recently (J Biol Chem. 2008; 283:8756-8764).

IBUB-TEC, a new series of IBUB seminaris on technology advances |
These seminars are meant to PhD students, postdocs or any lab people, in order to improve technological capacities for biomedical research.
|
Several already programmed IBUB-TEC Seminars are:
1.- Basic Bioinformatics Analysis (next October 17)
2.- Advances in RT-PCR and high-throughput DNA sequencing (IBUB-Roche Symposium next november 12, see below))
3.- Basics of Confocal Microscopy (December, practical-tutorial)
4.- ChIP on Chip versus ChIP-seq (January)
|
 |
The first seminar of the series will be “ Basics on Bioinformatics Analysis”
by Dr. Enrique Blanco (Departament de Genetica / IBUB), next 17 October (see attached announcement).. The target audience is PhD students and Researchers in any area of Molecular Biology.
The audience in this short talk will be in contact with real examples that explain how to take advantage of current computational tools:
search for genes in the most popular genome browsers, perform comparisons between related sequences, study the conservation of genes in different genomes, identify clusters of co-regulated genes or represent graphically these results. |
