The 18M project meeting was held in Barcelona on 11 and 12 April, and researchers took the occasion to visit the premises of the Biomimetic Systems for Cell Engineering led by Elena Martínez at IBEC.

Students at the Secondary School Angeleta Ferrer in Barcelona had the occasion to know the B-BRIGHTER project and learn about 3D bioprinting and in vitro models.

The 6^th edition of the EIC T2M – Innovation Discovery Training took place last week and Louise Breideband from GUF took the opportunity to improve her entrepreneurship skills and to learn from a science entrepreneur.

B-BRIGHTER reiterates its commitment to gender equality in science and once again joins in the 11F activities. This year, Núria Torras from IBEC participated in an online talk.

We are very proud to share that GUF team was awarded 3rd place at the Goethe Innovation Prize Event with "Modulux3D" Project: a 3D bioprinter that revolutionizes medical research through tissue engineering. This award recognizes research projects with great innovation potential and benefits for customers or patients.

Last 16 and 17 of November, B-BRIGHTER members met in Frankfurt for the 12M project meeting at GUF premisses. They took the opportunity to see, first hand, the 3D bioprinter prototype.

The Cellink Partnership Conference took place from 25th to 27th of October in Portsmouth in the UK, and Levin Hafa from GUF presented a poster showcasing the last advances of the project.

B-BRIGHTER researchers from GUF and IBEC publish an outstanding paper in Advanced Materials Journal presenting LUMINATE (Light sheet-based Ultrafast Microscopic Non-contact And Three-dimensional Enhanced bioprinting), a method that encompasses high printing speed and high resolution while introducing a fully integrated and streamlined fluorescent light sheet microscope capable of capturing real 3D images by optical sectioning the bioprinted construct.
