The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.

The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Description of research activity:
Theoretical and experimental study of polymeric nanopores, functionalised on their surface with molecules of specific properties, with applications to Micro- and Nanofluidics. These terms refer to the processing of liquids over spatial distances ranging from a few nanometres to a few micrometres. Research includes: Identify which input/output signals can be used in the design of nanofluidic devices capable of performing simple information and logic processing tasks with functionalised nanopores. Compare the biomimetic functions of functionalised nanopores with those of proteins located in mesoscopic ion channels of biological membranes. Implement external reconfiguration processes in a single device using electrical, optical or chemical pulses based on pre-programmed signals. We follow here the natural analogy between nanofluidic devices and electronic components controlling electron and hole flow to implement active functions such as rectification, field effect and bipolar control of ionic currents. Cellular and multicellular bioelectricity. Modelling of cellular bioelectrical properties such as membrane potential. Theoretical simulation of multicellular...Theoretical and experimental study of polymeric nanopores, functionalised on their surface with molecules of specific properties, with applications to Micro- and Nanofluidics.
