The prestigious European grant will drive cutting-edge research with scientific and technological impact.
The Biofisika Institute has strengthened its position at the forefront of European science after researcher David Albesa received an ERC Advanced Grant.
The award recognises the scientific excellence and innovative character of Albesa’s project, which addresses complex challenges in biophysics. The work will deepen knowledge of key molecular mechanisms and may open new routes for high-impact scientific and technological developments.
The European Research Council selected the proposal for its originality, ambitious approach and potential to advance the field. ERC Advanced Grants are among the most competitive international funding schemes and support high-risk, high-gain research.
Strategic commitment to cutting-edge scientific infrastructures
The achievement also reflects the institute’s sustained investment in advanced scientific facilities and technological platforms. This infrastructure allows researchers to tackle demanding questions under conditions comparable with leading European institutions.
The grant reinforces Biofisika’s role within the Basque scientific system and its international position as a centre for biophysics research and talent.
