The #SPM40 project had a strong presence at ISPM 2026 in Genoa. Gabriele Gradara presented a poster highlighting ongoing research on the use of Atomic Force Microscopy to study the nanoscale mechanical properties of living cells. In addition, Gabriel Gomila Lluch, coordinator of the SPM4.0 project, participated in the conference as an invited speaker, reinforcing the project’s scientific relevance and international impact. 👏 Congratulations to the team for their valuable contributions and visibility at ISPM 2026

🔬 SPM4.0 recently welcomed a group from the Universitat Popular de Granollers, who came to learn about the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and the fundamentals of Atomic Force Microscopy. The visit started with an engaging talk by Gabriel Gomila, followed by a visit to his laboratory. Participants were able to see how specialized software is used to analyze AFM images and observe two AFM systems in operation. In addition to Gabriel Gomila, the group also shared this experience with Jhon Pazos (#SPM40 researcher), Mauricio C., Annalisa Calo, and Beatriz Cantero, whose contributions made the visit especially enriching. A great opportunity to bring advanced microscopy and nanoscience closer to the community through hands-on learning and knowledge exchange. 🚀
