Bionanomechanics Lab (B-nano)

The Bionanomechanics Group (http://www.imm-cnm.csic.es/bionano/en) develops ultra-sensitive analytical tools for biomedicine inspired by unique phenomena occurring at the boundary between optics and mechanics at the micro- and nanoscale. The group's research ranges from the discovery of new physical phenomena in bio-interface to their technological exploitation for a relevant biomedical problem. In this effort, the group has expertise in physics, optical instrumentation, biofunctionalization, mechanobiology and biophysics. The group's interest in recent years has been increasingly oriented towards the early detection of cancer and viral infections. The scientific results of the group have been pioneering in its research area establishing new scientific directions in the field of nanomechanical biosensors, early detection of diseases and mechanobiology.
