Advanced Chemical Processes

Advanced Chemical Processes


The Advanced Chemical Processes group is formed by a multidisciplinary team of researchers belonging to the Department of Chemical Processes and Nanotechnology of the Institute of Carbochemistry, who have participated in national and European projects, as well as in research contracts with companies.

Main specialization

Polycondensation and Polymeric Membranes Group

Polycondensation and Polymeric Membranes Group


Preparation of new condensation polymers useful in semipermeable membranes for gas separation and water purification. Preparation of nanoporous polymeric networks and application in mixed matrix membranes, gas sorbents and catalysts supports.

Main specialization

Polymer Functionalization Group FUPOL

Polymer Functionalization Group FUPOL


The group is made up of an average of 10 researchers, 4 of them on staff. It is dedicated to the development of new methodologies for the synthesis and chemical modification, functionalization, structuring and processing (supercritical CO2 and 3D printing) of polymer materials. He belongs to the CSIC Susplast, Sosecocir, FAB-3D and Salud Global PTIs. He has participated in 3 projects related to COVID. It has created the EBT Releasycell S.L. (2018-2019) and is in the process of transferring iFABCell technology.

Main specialization

Elastomer Group

Elastomer Group


Elastomer group has a national unique position because it is the only one specialized exclusively in rubber science and technology. The focus of the research is the design and development of new elastomeric materials for advanced applications.

Main specialization

Chemical Biology

Chemical Biology


Chemical Biology is a discipline that studies the biological processes using chemical tools.

Main specialization

Biodiversity and Plant Evolution

Biodiversity and Plant Evolution


This group develops a synthesis discipline and uses data from different fields of biology: anatomical, karyological, cytogenetic, geographic, molecular, morphological, ecological niche, palynological and chemical. All of them are treated together to obtain a global vision of the plant species. Our main interest is in working on biodiversity, systematics and evolution of different taxa complexes, especially from the Compositae family.

Main specialization

Experimental High Energy Physics at Colliders

Experimental High Energy Physics at Colliders


The group of Experimental High Energy Physics at Colliders has as main scientific motivation the study of the fundamental interactions in particle physics. Its main chracteristic is the us of accelerators and high performant detectors that allow to reproduce the conditions and productions of the reactions under study. The group cooperates activily and is a pillar member in most of the front-end experiments of the field and in the proposals for future experiments.

Main specialization

Intracellular Calcium Pathophysiology

Intracellular Calcium Pathophysiology


Our research group is devoted to the research on calcium signalling, mitochondria and calcium channel remodelling in cell proliferation and cell death as well as its their contribution to proliferative and neurodegenerative diseases as cancer, restenosis and Alzheimers disease. On the other hand, we investigate the use of calcium channels as novel targets for the treatment of the above mentioned diseases. Particularly we study the role of calcium channels in the chemopreventive and neuroprotection mechanisms of aspirin and other NSAIDs against cancer and Alzheimer¿s disease.

Main specialization

Pathophysiology of Metabolic Diseases

Pathophysiology of Metabolic Diseases


Diabetes and obesity (metabolic diseases) are two major epidemics of the 21st century that constitute a major public health concern worldwide. The study of their pathophysiology can contribute to generate the novel knowledge for searching new treatments and therapies to counteract the impact of these chronic non-communicable diseases in patients.

Main specialization

Innate Immunity and tissue injury

Innate Immunity and tissue injury


Our research encompasses the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of tissue injury by immune-mediated mechanisms and the characterization of the main chemical mediators recruited upon engagement of receptors for both pathogen-associated molecular patterns and receptors for the Fc portion of IgG class antibodies. The cooperation between these receptors helps explain the current models of function of the immune system, where poorly soluble ligands and particulate stimuli are the driving force of the acute inflammatory reaction and the initiation of the adaptive immune response.
