The Biomedical Applications Group (GAB) since its origin has been always considered as a multidisciplinary group bringing together human and material resources from different disciplines: physics, chemistry, medicine, telecommunications, microelectronics, integrated circuit design and systems et. that in a coordinated way has the aim to conduct its research to the development of micro / nano-electronics for medical applications. The GAB has participated in over 60 national and international projects being leader in most of them.

The Power Devices and Systems Group of IMB-CNM was established in 1985, has developed his research continuously since then and currently consists of 20 people. Its activity focuses on the design, fabrication, characterization and integration of power semiconductor devices, optimized for developing reliable and energy efficient converters and electronic systems, operating even in harsh environments (high temperature, radioactive environments, etc.).

This group is dedicated to the design of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. Special is given to the following lines: low-power and low-voltage design techniques in deep sub-micron technologies; A/D converters, time-to-digital converters and mixed-signal interfaces; smart implantable and portable biosensing devices; CMOS image sensors, time-of-flight sensors, single-photon detectors and vision chips; heterogeneous sensor/processor microsystems; vertically integrated circuit design (CMOS-3D). The group is formed by professors and researchers from the University of Seville and CSIC.

Development of new strategies for the prevention and control of animal parasites and parasitic zoonoses based in new diagnosis and vaccination tools, on the basis of a deep molecular understanding of parasites and their relationships with the host.

This research group is devoted to the study of plant-associated microorganisms, focusing mainly on the diversity, taxonomy and functional role of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and endophytic fungi.

Research on the effects of environmental stress on the photoprotection of the photosynthetic apparatus and photosynthetic assimilation

The research is framed within the following strategic actions (EECTI) 2021-2027: 1. HEALTH: aimed at protecting the health of the population throughout the entire life cycle, especially focused on repairing the locomotor system damaged by degenerative diseases through the development and innovation of metallic materials. The group's research is supported by more than 20 years of experience. 2.

The development of new functional materials, micro- or nano-structured, with new properties and applications, is leading to new breakthroughs in many technological fields. Generally, the term "functionalisation” in describes the processes employed to modify the surface properties to obtain new functions. A successful way to afford materials new functionalities is by using surface treatments that confer the first surface layers a new composition, morphology or micro/nano structure that enables them for new applications.

The objective of the Group is the design, processing and study of alloys for structural applications at room and high temperatures. The materials studied are intermetallic , amorphous and nanocrystalline Al and Mg alloys and high entropy alloys. We have experience in techniques oriented to the design of nano / submicron structures such as rapidly solidification, mechanical alloying and ECAP, in electron microscopy (SEM, TEM, EBSD), X-ray diffraction and synchrotron and neutron diffraction. Our lines are: 1.

The group is focussed in the identification and physiological and molecular characterisation of resistance mechanisms to biotic and abiotic stresses in crops and their application to plant breeding
