El dimecres 17 de juliol es va celebrar a l’Hotel Catalonia Plaza de Barcelona el 12è Simposi Anual de l’IBEC. Amb una participació de més de 300 assistents i l’exposició de més de 102 pòsters científics, aquest any, l’esdeveniment es va focalitzar en la Bioenginyeria per a l’envelliment actiu -una de les tres àrees de recerca de l’IBEC- i va comptar amb la participació de tres ponents del MIT (Massachusets Institute of Technology), entre d’altres.
L'”envelliment actiu” o “esperança de vida saludable”, és un indicador definit per l’OMS com a l’equivalent en anys de vida que s’espera que els individus visquin amb bona salut, i que suposa, aproximadament, una mitjana mundial de 10 anys menys que l’esperança de vida.
Three members of the ICMS have participated at the second IBEC-ICMS symposium, celebrated last 16th July at the Barcelona Science Park. The event aimed to identify synergies and potential for collaboration between IBEC groups and the researchers of the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems (ICMS), a research institute of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).
