The ICTS NANBIOSIS is organized into five platforms: 1) production of biomolecules, 2) production of biomaterials and nanomaterials, 3) preclinical validation: characterization of tissues, biomaterials and surfaces, 4) preclinical validation: bioimage, and 5) high performance computing, which integrate 27 complementary and coordinated units, located in different centers of Andalusia, Aragon, Catalonia, Extremadura, Madrid and the Basque Country.
Main features
NANBIOSIS, through a single-window system, provides tailor-made integrated solutions for the challenges encountered by researchers in nanomedicine, medical diagnosis and tissue engineering and regenerative medicine devices, including design and production of bio/nanomaterials and their nanoconjugates, and the characterization of these and medical tissues and devices, from a physical-chemical, functional, toxicological and biological point of view until preclinical validation in vivo.
NANBIOSIS offers solutions in multiple fields of application and its configuration allows to carry out cutting-edge multidisciplinary studies.It is a distributed ICTS with 3 nodes:
CIBER-BBN’s Bioengineering, Biomaterials and Nanomedicine Platform
The Center for Biomedical Research in Network (CIBER) is a consortium dependent on the Carlos III Health Institute created in 2006 and organized into eleven areas of thematic research. The CIBER-BBN area currently brings together 46 research groups selected throughout the national territory according to their scientific excellence, with the aim of conducting transfer research in bioengineering, biomaterials and nanomedicine and transferring the results to the industry.
Preclinical Infrastructure and Development of Minimally Invasive Technologies of CCMIJU
The Jesús Usón Minimally Invasive Surgery Center (CCMIJU) is a public research center whose strategic mission is to contribute to the increase of knowledge and use of technologies related to biomedicine and minimally invasive surgery. It is located in Cáceres.
Andalusian Center for Nanomedicine and Biotechnology (BIONAND)
BIONAND is a center with a mixed character, participated by the Junta de Andalucía and the University of Malaga, conceived as a space for research excellence in nanomedicine that allows to generate new systems of diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases from the creation and development of devices, materials and approaches on a nanometric scale.
