We are the Institute for #Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), an unique @iCerca research center focused on #Present and #Future of #Health. Member of @_BIST.Global health cannot advance without science, engineering, and innovation technologies. We shape the present and future of medicine with Bioengineering. From excellent research to innovative solutions, IBEC merges science and engineering for Active Ageing

Core values

- **Healthcare Innovations**: IBEC focuses on developing new diagnostic and treatment systems, particularly in areas like regenerative medicine, nanomedicine, and advanced therapies, which significantly improve healthcare outcomes and quality of life[4].
- **Sustainability**: IBEC has committed to environmental sustainability in research, signing the Heidelberg Agreement to reduce the environmental impact of scientific research, which aligns with global efforts to combat climate change and achieve sustainable development goals[1].
- **Collaboration and Knowledge Transfer**: IBEC engages in international collaborations, shares best practices with other research centers, and supports technology transfer, which helps in expanding knowledge and improving research capabilities across different countries[2][4].
- **Addressing Major Challenges**: The institute tackles challenges such as early diagnosis, better quality of life for an ageing population, and making healthcare more sustainable, all of which have significant social, human, and economic implications[4].
