Scientific Profile: URECERCA

Professor of the Faculty of Health Sciences and Welfare at the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia.​

She did his Ph.D. in the Professor Pere Garriga laboratory at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. During her PhD studies, she focused on the structure-function relationships of the prototype of G-protein-coupled receptors Rhodopsin and in the molecular basis of disease associated with mutations in this important receptor causing retinal degenerations, like retinitis pigmentosa.​

From 2008 to 2018, she joined as a researcher in the Chromatin Biology group led by Ph.D. Alex Vaquero, in the Department of Epigenetics and Cancer Biology Program at IDIBELL. Her primary research interest was to understand the mechanisms that rule Chromatin dynamics and in particular, how the post-translational modifications of the N-terminal tails of histones are important for ensuring a proper control of chromatin functions interplay with the rest of chromatin machinery to keep a healthy and efficient Chromatin organization.​

After her incorporation as a Professor at the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia, Ph.D. Laia Bosch-Presegué has joined the Research Line of Epigenetics and tissue transformation in TR2Lab. Currently, her research is focused on studying epigenetic events in different pathologies and how different interventions can prevent their appearance, improve symptoms or contribute to their healing.​
