Welcome to the web site of the Center for Research in Biological Chemistry and Molecular Materials (CiQUS). Here you will find information about the research areas, groups and scientists that comprise this center, and also about its organization, facilities, services and other data of interest. CiQUS is a member of the Singular Research Centers Network, a core structure of the Campus of International Excellence– Campus Vida project, and it is focused towards the application of transdisciplinary strategies to solve relevant problems in the field of biological chemistry and in the development of novel functional materials.
The meeting provided an opportunity to assess the progress of MolDAM, a European project focused on studying and controlling chemical reactions at the atomic scale through molecular synthesis and advanced microscopy techniques.
The CiQUS researcher was honoured for her pioneering work, in the most gender-balanced edition of the awards to date.
Researchers from CiQUS and CRETUS have developed a new method to immobilize plastic-degrading enzymes inside protein nanospheres produced by bacteria.
