Dr. Xavier Fernández-Busquets, senior researcher in IBEC’s Nanobioengineering group, is undertaking research into targeted nanovectors for antimalarial drug delivery with support from IBEC and the Centre de Recerca en Salut International de Barcelona (CRESIB) under an official agreement signed in 2010. This proposed the establishment of a mixed unit of personnel from both institutes aimed at developing diagnostic and therapeutic nanomedicine-based systems to be applied to malaria.
In 2011 this initiative was favourably reviewed and will continue for another three years.
