The main mission of the Group is to conduct world-class basic and applied research in nanophotonics and novel nanomaterials with the focus on the mechanisms and applications of light harvesting and energy transfer/conversion on the nanoscale.

InGenArte tries to research women’s presence and their contributions in the processes of artistic and theatrical creation, production and distribution (texts, staging and management, etc.) and the modernity of their expression languages and techniques. InGenArte also researches into the representations of female and male identity models, paying attention to their reproduction and consolidation of stereotypes. We also propose a new canon of dramatic creations suitable for cultural schedules and educational institutions.

The key role of genome instability in tumorigenesis and a number of rare cancer-prone genetic diseases, as well as its potential risks in stem cell–based therapies, has made it a major subject in basic biological research, cancer biology and biomedicine. Our research goals are to identify and understand the causes and mechanisms of genome instability. They are based on the facts that eukaryotic DNA replication starts at multiple sites throughout the genome and is necessarily coordinated with transcription, sister chromatid cohesion, nucleosome assembly and cell cycle progression.

Microtubule (MT) nucleation, the event that initiates de novo formation of MTs, is a highly regulated process that enables cells to acquire specific architectures and to promptly respond to any cellular change. The centrosome and the Golgi Apparatus (GA) are the two major MT-organising centres (MTOCs) in cells, and increasing evidence underpins the idea that there is a high degree of coordination and crosstalk between their activities along the cell cycle and during cell differentiation.

Activities related to the observation, study, and modeling of the various phases and processes associated with the formation and evolution of stars, brown dwarfs, and planets. Characterization of the physical properties of these objects.

The Research Group is devoted to develop space instrumentation and technology for planetary exploration and astrophysics, as well as to develop simulation chambers and nanotechnology in support of those developments.

The research area of ​​the group is Gravitational Wave Astronomy, an area that was inaugurated in 2015 with the first detections of gravitational waves, which deserved the Nobel Prize in Physics 2017. The group's interest is focused on the study of space observatories of gravitational waves. These observatories will open the low frequency gravitational-wave band. The group led the Spanish contribution - the data and diagnostics subsystem - to LISA Pathfinder, a mission to demonstrate the necessary technologies for the detection of gravitational waves from space, launched in 2015.

NANOMOL is a large and interdisciplinary research group with a wide expertise and recognized excellence in the synthesis, processing, characterization, and physico-chemical studies of molecular and polymeric functional materials. We aim to generate new knowledge on the nanostructuring of molecular materials in order to improve the properties of products manufactured in diverse economical sectors, such as electronic, pharmaceutical, and biomedicine.

Our mission is to design, modify, and explore the limits of molecular and hybrid materials based on boron clusters in the fields of optics, magnetism, (electro/photo)catalysis, and biomedicine. Our multidisciplinary approach bridges various research areas, including chemistry, physics, materials science, and biomedical research. We develop novel functional materials based on boron clusters to promote their application in socioeconomically relevant areas such as sustainable energy, environmental protection, and medicine.

The Reproductive Physiology and Environmental Epigenetics group includes the Group of Biology of Reproduction (GBR), established in 1997 and led by Francesc Piferrer, and the group of Molecular Endocrinology of Spermatogenesis (MES), established in 2022 and led by François Chauvigné. Our main goal is to do research on the reproductive physiology of fishes, focusing on sex determination and differentiation, and the regulation of sperm production and male function. We aim to understand both the internal and the environmental influences on these key processes for species survival.
