nanoGUNE, the Basque Nanoscience Cooperative Research Center
Our mission is to carry out world-class nanoscience research for the competitive growth of the Basque Country.
Nanoscience is science at a very small scale: the nanoscale, ranging from 0.1 to 100 nanometers. A nanometer is one-millionth of a millimeter. The behavior of matter at the nanoscale is very special and scientists from very diverse disciplines are nowadays studing all these phenomena.
Our research is mainly focused on Quantum Nanoscience, Nanomaterials and Nanomedicine.
Research
Rapid fabrication of self-propelled, steerable magnetic microcatheters for precision medicine
A new international study led by the Nanobiosystems group at CIC nanoGUNE, is developing miniature, non-invasive, precise robotic catheters for use in reproductive medicine and gynaecological health. This research,… Read more
EIT Jumpstarter award for CIC nanoGUNE’s Prospect Biotech business project
The new enterprise, due to be set up in December, will be optimising cell cultures by combining Raman spectroscopy, nanoparticles and AI. This technology allows the early detection of culture anomalies and greater efficiency in accelerating… Read more
