Joining forces to beat Salmonella
An IBEC group has embarked on a technology transfer venture together with two biopharmaceutical companies.
Antonio Juárez’s Microbial Technology and Host-Pathogen Interaction lab has formed a consortium with CZV Veterinaria, a leader in the manufacture of veterinary products based in Porriño, Galicia, and Valls Companys’ pharmaceutical arm MEVET in Lleida. Their two-year project aims to obtain strains of Salmonella with weakened virulence, which can then be used to develop a vaccine to reduce the incidence of the infection in poultry farms.
Salmonella, a leading cause of food poisoning, is zoonotic, able to spread to man through contaminated animal food products.
IBEC Spin-offs
Aleria Biodevices, IBEC's first spin-off company, was founded in 2007 with the mission of accelerating and simplifying biomedical processes in research, pharmaceutical industry and clinical labs. Aleria Biodevices is led by Enric Claverol, formerly group leader of the Neuroengineering group at IBEC until the end of 2010.
Training in technology transfer
The Parc Científic Barcelona (PCB), IBEC's home campus, regularly hosts courses and workshops on the topics of technology transfer, intellectual property and patenting.PCB website: http://www.pcb.ub.edu/homepcb/live/en/p1.asp
Biocat, the organization that coordinates, dynamizes and promotes biotechnology, biomedicine and the medical technology sector in Catalonia, also offers courses on these and related topics.
