The general aim of our research is to determine the role of several protein phosphatases in the repair of a DNA lession, and their importance in the mantenance of genome stability.

The work of the group is focused in two main research lines: 1) food safety and health; 2) enzyme obtainment and characterization to improve the food quality. The first research line covers the study of both, foodborne pathogens and other gastrointestinal bacteria and his interaction for consumer wellbeing. The second research line addresses the identification of microbial enzymes which is useful to improve food quality and safety.

Astronomical observations, computational modelling and laboratory experiments of the physics and chemistry in interstellar and circumstellar media. Development of superconducting detectors, spectroscopic tools for data cube analysis and molecular spectroscopy line catalogues for the detection of new chemical species in Space. This is a multidisciplinary group providing a strong connection between Astrophysics, Chemical Physics, Experimental Astrochemistry, Materials Science and astronomical instrumentation for ground and space observatories.

The Supercritical Fluids and Functional Materials (SFFM) group currently involves a CSIC professor, a RyC fellow, four doctoral students and a Technician. The achievement of two large European Projects, the contribution of several Plan Nacional projects, and the budget of stablished collaborations with MATGAS 2000 AIE/Air Products Inc., have allowed the assembly of a laboratory of Supercritical Fluids within the ICMAB necessary to fulfill the objectives of the SFFM group.

The BIONANOSURF Group's research focuses on all the stages involved in the design, development, characterization, testing, validation and transfer of nanotechnologies for the diagnosis and treatment of various pathologies. Specifically, our research is mainly divided into 4 lines of research: therapeutic nanoconjugates and drug delivery systems; Magnetic Nanoactuators for Enzyme Activation and Membrane Receptors; Calorimetric nanobiosensors and Quality management in the development of Nanotechnology.

Machine learning and Data Science are disciplines that are at the core of many current significant societal developments.

The scientific interests of our research group are focused on the design, synthesis and characterization of new “tailor-made” photosensitized nanostructured materials with improved biophotonic behavior for advanced biomedical applications, as well as to enhance the knowledge on the processes governing their synthesis, behavior and properties in regarding their structure and nanostructure and their biological response.

The main objective of the research group is to determine the impact of agricultural management practices on climate change mitigation in Mediterranean agroecosystems.

Our aim is the R&D of new drugs for the treatment of neurological and infectious diseases. We are a multidisciplinary research group (chemistry, pharmacy and biology) with experience on molecular modelling and chemoinformatics, organic synthesis, biological screening, ADMETox properties optimization and business management. Our projects increase the knowledge on innovative targets with clear therapeutic potential for rare diseases such as ALS and higly pathogenic viral infections (Ebola, SARS-CoV-2) that allow the discovery of new drug candidates for their treatment.

During their life cycle, fungi are able to change their morphology in response to environmental conditions. Our group is interested in the modifications that affect to a plant pathogen fungi during its infection cycle, and mainly the role of protein glycosylation in this process.
