This research group carries out activities related to the identification of genes and the underlying mechanisms involved in tolerance to abiotic stress in plants (mainly Arabidopsis thaliana, tomato and strawberry).

The group focuses its activity on designing Therapy and Medicine Imaging devices beyond the current state-of-the-art, in terms of sensitivity, spatial, energy, and temporal resolution. The group also develops algorithms to provide the best achievable image quality with the available data in the most efficient way in terms of computing time and quantitative accuracy.

Nuclear medicine equipment makes use of very specific radiation sensors which need high-end front-end electronics and data acquisition systems. Due to the vast number of outputs provided by these sensors and the processing power needed to manage the huge amount of information, high-tech ad-hoc solutions are needed which cannot be commercially obtained: - Analog front-end electronics, for low level connection with the sensor as well as for an initial preprocessing, has to be integrated in an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit).

The group of Grid and High Performance Computing (GRyCAP) focuses on the development and application of the high performance computing and Grid technologies in different fields such as engineering, biomedicine, e-Government or scientific computing.

Gold-Based Compounds in Photophysics, Medicine and Catalysis

The research group coordinated by Prof. Jesús J. Pérez-Torrente, to which belong Prof. Luis A. Oro and other permanent scientists of the University of Zaragoza and the CSIC, has been recognized by the Government of Aragon as a research group of reference (E42_17R). The research team includes researchers from the Ramón y Cajal program, as well as a number of researchers in pre-doctoral and post-doctoral training.

Our interests are focused in the investigation and development of structural and functional ceramics for energy applications and their devices.

The RASMIA Research Group focuses its activity on the use of Synchrotron Radiation for research in materials science and nanotechnology, and low temperature techniques Our object of study are magnetic materials, oxides and molecular, with application in spintronics, investigated with various techniques and in particular, with Synchrotron Radiation. Spintronics is a new technology based on spin currents, relevant in ICTs today, and even more in the medium and long term, for enabling energy-competitive technological solutions.
