Bruna Pratsobreroca Andreu graduated in Nursing from the University of Barcelona in 2019. She began her professional career that same year as a staff nurse in the inpatient units of convalescence and functional recovery, palliative care, and psychogeriatrics at the Hospital Universitari de la Santa Creu de Vic.
Between 2021 and 2023, she relocated to Pamplona (Navarre), where she completed her specialization in Geriatric Nursing at the Hospital Universitario de Navarra. During this period, she attended several conferences and professional meetings in the field of geriatrics, participating both as an attendee and as a speaker. She also collaborated in data collection for the Nutrifag research project, focused on malnutrition and dysphagia.
In August 2023, she returned to the Hospital Universitari de la Santa Creu de Vic, initially as a ward nurse and, since December 2023, as the afternoon shift lead nurse for the inpatient care area, a position she currently holds. In 2025, she completed a postgraduate specialization in the care and management of complex wounds at the University of Cantabria.
She aims to further develop her academic and research career in the fields of geriatrics and wound care, contributing to the improvement of care and quality of life for older adults and promoting the translation of scientific evidence into everyday clinical practice.

Extracellular Matrix-Derived Hydrogel to Model and Study COPD
Renata Kelly da Palma carried out a three-month research stay in Brazil, at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo (USP), in collaboration with the research group led by Prof. Dr Paulo Manuel Pêgo-Fernandes. During this period, she worked on the development of extracellular matrix-derived hydrogels to model and study Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). These hydrogels are biomaterials obtained from extracellular matrix components and are designed to reproduce some characteristics of the natural environment of tissues. They can be used to create more realistic experimental models for studying disease mechanisms and may also have future applications in [...]
