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.

Dr. Anna Fàbrega Presents TR2Lab’s New Research Line on the Microbiome in Complex Wounds
Dr. Anna Fàbrega participated as an invited speaker at the I Jornada Ferides 360: experiència, coneixement i innovació - Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Déu, where she presented TR2Lab’s new research line focused on the study of the microbiome in complex wounds. During her presentation, she introduced the multicentre project she leads, which aims to longitudinally analyse the intestinal and skin microbiome of patients with diabetic foot ulcers. The study seeks to identify microbial patterns associated with the clinical progression of these lesions, with the goal of improving patient stratification and moving towards a more personalized approach to the management [...]
