BLOC Project develops a new technology based on NMR spectroscopy and imaging to monitor disease and assess drug response in OOC models. Funded by @EU_Commission
Today @IMarcoRius, coordinator of BLOC project from @mipmed lab at @IBECBarcelona, showcased the new benchtop spectrometer and the advances of the project in a talk at the Annual Congress of the Spanish Society of Biomedical Engineering @caseib2023.
Great presentation 👏👏👏
Great success of BLOC Symposium and Workshop yesterday at @IBECBarcelona . 👏👏👏
Renowned researchers from Europe and abroad in the field of #MRI, #NMR and hyperpolarization presented the latest advances in the field. And after that...
@blocprojectEU is getting close to the end… This week we had the final meeting at @IDIBAPS to discuss the results and how to improve our benchtop #NMR spectrometer. It was time for great discussions with the advisory board and all the project partners! #tissueengineering#NMR
NMR has been at the heart of analytical #chemistry for over 60 years. We're inspired to now be developing #technology to expand the analyses that #NMR can perform on the bench in any laboratory.

Today MIPMED team attended a great talk by Professor Dan Vigneron @DrVigneron_Ucsf. What a pleasure to see how hyperpolarized carbon-13 MRI is revolutionizing molecular imaging, unlocking previously-inaccessible biochemical pathways! #HPMRI#MRI#MIPMED@UCSFimaging
Yesterday BLOC family met together at @IBECBarcelona and @MIPMED to discuss the final steps of the project. We are almost there: 👉developing a benchtop #NMR spectrometer to study metabolism in real-time and non-destructively by hyperpolarization-enhanced #MRS#tissueengineering
Last week BLOC Project was at the @ISMRMIberian! @AlbaHerreroG from @MIPMED lab presented a poster with the latest advances of the project. She had great turnout and a lot of questions about #NMR applied to the medical field. Congratulations! 👏👏👏
