Page 4 - CIBER-BBN2016-ENG

We would like to welcome two new groups (led by José Miguel López Higuera from the Universidad de Cantabria and by Jesús Martínez de la Fuente from the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Aragón), which joined CIBER-BBN from late 2016, enriching the bioengineering and nanomedicine programmes.
We are also pleased about the institutional reinforcement of the CIBER model, through the creation of the new thematic areas with which there are doubtlessly many interests in common and with which we expect to establish cooperation links in the near future.
As Scientific Director I am persuaded that the CIBER project is an ambitious, stimulating endeavour, able to create some extraordinary scientific achievements through cooperation. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the researchers for their work, patience and persistence, in their daily efforts to overcome new challenges and ensure the progress of science, in spite of the difficulties involved.
With my best regards,
Ramón Martínez Máñez, Scientific Director
