Margarita Salas began a project at the CSIC Biological Research Centre on bacteriophages as a study model of molecular biology of morphogenesis, replication and transcription, after having worked in the United States with Severo Ochoa. She was awarded with an honorary doctorate by the UAB on april 2018.

Researchers from the Biotechnology and Biomedicine Institut (IBB) at UAB have discovered a new therapeutical aproximation to Parkinson’s disease, focused on the alpha-synuclein, a protein involved in this and other neurodegenerative disorders, which’s...
Chemicals explosives are used in mining industries and civil constructions¸ unfortunately also in terrorist attacks. One of these compounds which is often used in this last objective is triperoxid of triacetone, because it can be produced...
Salvador Pané, researcher at the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems of the ETH Zurich, is the Chair of the European COST e-MINDS Action....
Snails are known for their interesting ability to accumulate and detoxify heavy metals. They have the ability to accumulate cadmium (a very toxic element) in a way that is innocuous when captured by metallothioneins, a family of proteins. Researchers from...
The wastewater treatment plant developed by the UAB and Aigües de Manresa S.A. municipal company, generates value-added products simultaneously to the debugging process. The system recovers 50% of the phosphorus, useful as a fertilizer, extracts materials to produce...
Daniel Nocera, Professor of Energy at Harvard University, has been working since he was 25 for creating an artificial leaf that mimics plant photosyntesis. He has already developed it to get a bionic leaf that provides...
UAB researchers have studied the performance and recyclability of silica-supported chiral organocatalysts in the asymmetric aldol reaction, a reaction frequently used in the synthesis of drugs. They have observed that the nature and length of...
Nowadays, the industry in all its sectors demands the creation of new products for new applications. Inorganic Chemistry and more precisely the coordination compounds due to their great structural diversity and large number of properties acquire a...
