Last week, the ZiBio group came together for an international lunch. We enjoyed delicious dishes from Argentina, Brazil, China, the Basque Country, the Canary Islands, Mexico, Germany, Iran, and Cameroon. A tasty way to celebrate the different cultures in our group!

At today's group meeting, PhD student Yanne Amassoka presented the potential of FLIM to investigate pro- and anti-inflammatory microglial phenotypes. 🔬🧠
She ended with this lovely AI-generated image of our team! Great to see such gender balance and cultural diversity at ZIBIO! 🌍
AI is here to stay! 🤖✨
🎉Excited to share our new paper, now published in Nat. Commun. on eutectogels for body surface potential mapping! A great collaboration between Polymat and the University of Cambridge @GeorgeMalliaras, carried out within @IonbikeR led by @DavidMecerreyes

Our ZiBIO group was proud to attend TERMIS-EU 2026 in Palma de Mallorca! 🌍
Yanne Amassoka, Sara Martín, Asier Panfilo, and Beatriz de Passos presented their latest research in biomaterials and tissue engineering, exchanged ideas with international researchers, and strengthened collaborations within the regenerative medicine community.

We are very happy to welcome Maria Eugenia Taverna to our group! 🎉
Maria Eugenia has joined ZIBIO as a postdoctoral visiting researcher from the Institute for the Development of the Chemical Industry (INTEC, UNL-CONICET, Argentina) within the framework of the IONBIKE 2.0 Marie Curie Staff Exchanges project @IonbikeR.
It is a pleasure to have her with us, and we look forward to working together over the next 9 months! 👩🔬🔬

After four years of outstanding research at the ZiBIO Group at POLYMAT, Sara Martín Colomo is concluding her PhD stage under the supervision of Aitor Larrañaga. Her work has focused on advanced bioresorbable biomaterials and tissue engineering strategies. We are excited to see the final outcome of her PhD thesis in the coming months. Congratulations Sara on this important milestone! 🎓

Last Friday, we welcomed Dr. Andoni Rodríguez to our lab for a seminar on his research.
🔬He presented the talk: “Oppositely charged single enzyme nanogels form versatile coacervates for efficient enzyme cascade catalysis.”
Thanks for the visit and great scientific exchange!🙌
🚀We’re thrilled to announce our latest article in Adv. Mater. @WileySTEM on "Eutectozymes", smart functional materials for biocatalysis.
Fantastic collaboration between PolyZymes and EutectoMatter Labs! @anabelizazu @ZibioGroup @Ikerbasque
