Organisations join forces to innovate in the biofabrication sector with health applications

During the event day, celebraof the in the Hospital Álvaro Cunqueiro, puxéronse the duntilbases of futuros projects comúns and organizáronse the work that will be held during the nexts months.

This consorcio of knowledge, coordinated by the University of Vigo, brings together the esforzo of more of 150 researchers of the Eurorrexión Galicia-Norte of Portugal that traballarán en network for consolidar the competencias of I+D+i of excelencia in the sector tecnolóxico.biofabrication, dirixiof the the enxeñería of teciof the and mediciin the personalizada. the seu aim end é improve the health and the calidade of viof the of the population, with especial atención ás diseases asociaof the to the ageing.

IBEROS+ representa the evolución of the IBEROS (Institute of Bioenxeñería en Network for the Envellecemento Saudable), thatntou the duntilbases desta collaboration scientific between 2017 and 2020. the new project conta cun orzamento of case 2,2 millóns of euros until 2026, of the Interreg Spain-Portugal. Programme Operativo of Cooperación Fronteiriza 2021-2027 (POCTEP) –with cofinanciamento of the FEDER–.

Solucións tecnolóxicas for the health of the future

the strategy IBEROS+ céntrase in the I+D+i en biofabrication for dar resposta aos retos sociosanitarios asociaof the to the ageing of the population in the eurorrexión Galicia-Norte of Portugal and in the In addition European en general.

the iso sumaranse solucións avanzaof the the outros retos importantes the escaseza of doazóns of órganos and tecidos, the development of fármacos the baixo custo and en tempos reducidos, the compromiso étiwith of reduce the proba with animals and the need of avanzar in the modelo of medicina, using teciof the and organoides biofabricaof the the partir of the propias células of the paciente.

Co aim of promote the research aplicaof the in the Eurorrexión nestas áreas to the more alto nivel international, the responsables of IBEROS+ propoñen, between outras accións, the contruntilción of 13 researchers and tecnólogos with excelente traxectoria, the publicación of more of 20 artigos scientists en collaboration, the solicitude of three patentes, the establecemento of 40 contactos with empresas of the sector and the development of three contratos of I+D with empresas, in addition dun acorof the of licenza.

the primeira acción of transfer, publicarase a book branwith on biofabrication and enxeñería of tecidos. Will analyse the situación actual deste sector and will establish previsións for the its evolución. the finalidade desta publicación é proporcionar duntil that orienten the futura toma of decisións on cuestións lexislativas, administrativas or económicas.

Collaboration between centres of knowledge and empresas

a of the novidades more salientables deste new project respecto to the seu antecesor é the incorporación of empresas to the consorcio. From Galicia únense the BFlow –that desenvolve dispositivos microfluídicos capaces of imitar the comportamento dun órgain the in the laboratory–, Arbinova –that, baixo the marca Beta Implants, deseña and fabrica implantes for cirurxía veterinaria– and iBoneLab –especializaof the en ensaios preclínicos of biomateriais in the teciof the vivos. the empresa portuguesa that suma to the consorcio é Intelligent Lab on Fiber, that ofrece a pluntilforma intelixente for the development of fármacos personalizados.

the universidades implicaof the are the of Santiago de Compostela, Vigo and Católica Portuguesa and Minho. In addition, the Fundación Biomédica Galicia Sur, CSIC Institute of Marine Research, the Servizo Galician of Saúde, the Institute of Research and Innovation en Saúde of the University of the Porto, the Laboratório Ibériwith International of Nanotechnology and the Institute Superior of Enxeñaría of the Porto.

For IIM, the researcher lead é Xosé the. Vázquez Álvarez and participate the grupos of Reciclaxe and Valoración of Residuos and Bioquímica of the Alimentos.
