UC3M R&D IN THE HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR

2016

t e c h n o l o g y r o a d m a p u c 3 m - h e a l t h s e c t o r

The Science Park of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) wants to present

the potential of the university in this “knowledge map” through the research

areas developed in the frame of I+D projects, both national and international,

patents and other results of UC3M investigators, in Heath Sector.

The global knowledge obtained, the experience of collaborating with the

industry, the existence of infrastructures and proper laboratories and, above all,

the multidisciplinary nature of UC3M are characteristics that provide an added

value so that our support towards the innovation of institutions, big companies

and SMEs has an integral quality.

We invite you to deepen the knowledge of the UC3M and to collaborate in new

I+D+i projects.

Fundación Jiménez Díaz Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Bioengineering Chair

Group head: Marcela Del Río Nechaevsky

Description:• Chair made up of UC3M, CIEMAT, Instituto de

Investigación Sanitaria-Fundación Jiménez Díaz (IIS-FJD) and Rare Disease CIBER focusing on the development of tools and technologies that allow establishing innovative therapeutic strategies based on molecular physiopathological evidence

Objective:• To boost quality research that gives a new direction

to clinical research and, where appropriate, to medical practice in the area of Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Bioengineering

Area of Activity:• Enhancing biomedical research on pathologies that

do not have suitable treatments, particularly in the area of genodermatosis and other skin conditions, in addition to developing innovative therapies that may be object of studies and clinical trials with patients

• Genegraft

European project with a direct therapeutic application since it is a clinical trial for a rare disease, epidermolysis bullosa, known as the disease of “butterfly children”. Tissue engineering and gene therapy are associated with one another within the framework of this research.

• NanoSmell

Project in which work is being done in relation to wound healing and skin tissue regeneration through smells. It is a highly innovative project that explores the use of artificial smells designed in a lab as healing process inducing agents.
