Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya
La Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Barcelona Tech (UPC) és una institució pública de recerca i d'educació superior en els àmbits de l'enginyeria, l'arquitectura i les ciències.
L’activitat dels seus campus i centres fan de la UPC un punt de referència i, en complicitat amb el teixit productiu, són agent i motor de canvi econòmic i social, en posar en valor la recerca bàsica i aplicada i transferir tecnologia i coneixement a la societat.
Els investigadors i investigadores de la UPC treballen des dels laboratoris i centres de recerca per augmentar la producció científica, valoritzar-la socialment a través de la transferència de resultats i continuar liderant projectes internacionals d’excel·lència, ja sigui a partir d’iniciatives pròpies o en col·laboració amb altres centres de recerca i universitats d’arreu del món.

(English) Substantial research efforts in the field of tissue engineering have been done in the recent years to overcome the bone regeneration limitations of the human body and to treat bone-related pathologies like ...
(English) Respiratory diseases, along with heart diseases, are the most prevalent in the world. The acquisition of lung samples is essential for a correct diagnosis of the disease. For peripheral lesions it is not easy to ...
(English) Bone is the second most frequent tissue transplantation right after blood transfusion. Although it has natural self-healing abilities, bone grafts are required in critical size defects to provide mechanical ...
(English) Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in the world. The heart has a very limited regeneration capacity. Thus, following tissue damage – e.g., myocardial infarction –, heart transplantation ...
(English) This thesis aims to explore cardiac cell physiology across various scales, also known as translational cardiology. The research employs novel computational techniques from Biomedical engineering and utilizes ...
(English) This thesis presents a comprehensive investigation of the reliability and efficacy of Ultra-Sound (US) signals and images for remote monitoring and early diagnosis in medical applications. The main objective of ...
(English) The control strategies implemented in exoskeletons play a crucial role in determining the interaction between the device and user. However, it is unclear what is the most suitable control strategy and settings ...
(English) People with spinal cord injury (SCI) may suffer lifelong sequels that influence every aspect of their lives, including motor and/or sensory impairment, difficulty breathing and/or swallowing, bladder/bowel weakness, ...
(English) Intraluminal procedures have opened up a new sub-field of minimally invasive surgery that use flexible instruments to navigate through complex luminal structures of the body, resulting in reduced invasiveness and ...
(English) Over the years, a continuous development of intraluminal procedures resulted in strong benefits for the patients. Reduced blood loss, lower risk of infections, diminished scaring impact and quicker recovery time ...
In 2019 the data published by the World Health Organization showed that the cardiac ischemia is the first cause of death worldwide. These diseases are caused by irregularities of the contractile mechanism’s function, ...
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients demonstrate an increased incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) with declining kidney functioning as a consequence of blood potassium ([K+]) homeostasis impairment, which is restored ...
The main objective of this thesis was to study the variability of the cardiac, respiratory and vascular systems through electrocardiographic (ECG), respiratory flow (FLW) and blood pressure (BP) signals, in patients with ...
