Nanomedicine in Spain: looking back to see forward

‘Who's who' of Spain's major players in nanomedicine and a record of this new field's most notable achievements, "Nanomedicine in Spain 06-10", was launched on 2 February. The report, which has been coordinated by IBEC –located at the barcelona Scientific Park– as leader of the Spanish Nanomedicine Platform (NanoMed Spain), covers the creation of large research initiatives such as CIBER-BBN, public-private collaboration, international consortia such as BOND and Lymphotarg and entrepreneurship activities fostered by the Platform.


As a reference work for this emerging area, it aims to provide an overview of nanomedicine’s formative years for policy makers, industry associates and existing stakeholders, as well as those looking to enter the field.

The document was presented at the one-day workshop ‘Nanomedicine in Spain: present and future’ at the the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) in Madrid, chaired by Ms Mª Luisa Brown, Deputy Director General of Strategic Public-Private Cooperation (MICINN). The workshop also featured presentations by some top researchers in nanomedicine to foster an open debate on Spain’s strengths in this emerging sector and the key technologies to focus on in the next few years.

The discussion will provide fundamental input into a white paper to help identify the Spanish R&D priorities for the future 8th Framework Programme in this area.
