Scientific Profile: URECERCA
I am a Medical Oncologist who graduated in Medicine from the Universidad Católica de Córdoba. After completing my residency training, I pursued a fellowship at the Hospital Universitario Vall d’Hebron and subsequently undertook an observership at the Università degli Studi della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli in Naples, Italy.
I currently work as a Consultant Medical Oncologist at the Hospital Universitari de Vic, where I am involved in clinical work and clinical research, alongside teaching activities. My clinical practice focuses on breast cancer and gynaecological cancers, allowing me to integrate patient care with research in a direct and meaningful way. I am actively involved in the training of medical residents and in undergraduate teaching at the Universitat de Vic – Central University of Catalonia, where I serve as Associate Professor of Oncology.
Since September 2022, I am pursuing a PhD in Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the Universitat de Vic – Central University of Catalonia, supported by an Industrial Doctorate fellowship. My research focuses on translational research in gynaecological cancers, with a particular emphasis on endometrial cancer. In parallel, I am also enrolled in a postgraduate Expert Programme in gynaecological cancers at the Universitat de Girona, further strengthening my specialised training in this field.

Clara Masó participates in the “Present Your Thesis in 4 Minutes” competition at UVic-UCC
Clara Masó, PhD candidate, participated on May 13 in the 9th edition of the competition “Present Your Thesis in 4 Minutes”, hosted by the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia (UVic-UCC) in the context of the first European Doctoral Day. The event brought together 14 doctoral students from 8 different PhD programmes, all taking on the challenge of explaining their research in just four minutes. The competition aims to promote clear, engaging, and accessible scientific communication, encouraging participants to present their work using only their oral communication skills. This initiative highlights the importance of bringing research closer to [...]
Marta Casals Zorita presented her doctoral thesis at the International Nurses Day in Osona
Marta Casals, a member of TR2Lab, delivered a presentation on her doctoral thesis titled "Education program to improve adherence to self-care recommendations for people with complex wounds of the lower extremities" on May 12th. The event provoided an opportunity for professionals to meet and share experiences and insights regarding the nursing profession.

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 [...]
