Scientific Profile: URECERCA
Anna Fàbrega is Professor and Coordinator of the Department of Basic Sciences at the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia (UVic-UCC). She is also part-time lecturer of Microbiology at the Faculty of Medicine (UVic-UCC) and member of the Ethics Committee for Research with Medicines, Health Products and Clinical Interventions (CEIm) of the IRIS-CC.
Anna Fàbrega studied Biology (2004, UB) and Biochemistry (2006, UB) and did her PhD studies (2010) at the Clinical Microbiology Department of the Hospital Clínic of Barcelona (UB). She did research stages at the Pasteur Institute (Paris, France) and the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD, USA). She continued her research career with a postdoc at ISglobal (2011-2015) and a research contract at the Clinical Microbiology Department of the Hospital Vall d’Hebron of Barcelona (VHIR, 2016-2020).
Her expertise was focused on the study of bacterial pathogens and infectious diseases, including antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, bacterial virulence, pathogenicity, host response biomarkers, antigen vaccine candidates and molecular epidemiology.
In 2020 she joined the UVic-UCC as a coordinator of the Basic Sciences department on the Manresa Campus. There, she is starting a new research project on the study of the characteristics and evolutionary changes in the microbiome of complex wounds, namely diabetic food ulcers.

Predictive capacity for local disease control of neogenin-1 (NEO1) transcriptional expression in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Gemma Fuster has just published a research article in collaboration with Hospital de Sant Pau and Hospital Clínic where the researchers analyse the predictive capacity for local disease control of the transcriptional expression of the neogenin-1 (NEO1) gene in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We performed a retrospective neogenin-1 (NEO1) transcriptional study on tumour biopsies from 107 surgically treated HNSCC patients. Neogenin-1 is the receptor for netrin-1 and has been classified as a tumour suppressor gene in some cancers, such as colorectal cancer. In contrast, in this study shows that HNSCC patients with lower [...]
