Dra. Lidia Carballeira is a Cardiology Specialist at the Consorci Hospitalari de Vic, with advanced expertise in cardiac electrophysiology and device therapy. She trained as a cardiologist at Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (Barcelona), where she developed a strong interest in arrhythmias and sports cardiology, completing early research on electrocardiographic alterations in elite athletes, particularly early repolarization patterns.
She subsequently pursued subspecialized electrophysiology training at Hospital de Sant Pau and the Central University Hospital of Asturias—one of Spain’s most active EP centers—achieving European Level‑2 Certifications in Cardiac Electrophysiology and Cardiac Devices in 2017.
Her research career expanded with a competitive post‑residency fellowship funded by the Spanish Society of Cardiology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (USA), where she investigated clinical and electrical predictors of premature ventricular contraction–induced cardiomyopathy. This experience further strengthened her commitment to translational electrophysiology.
Dra. Carballeira has contributed several international publications in leading electrophysiology journals.. Her work spans ventricular arrhythmias, early repolarization in athletes, complex ablation strategies, conduction system pacing, and arrhythmia outcomes in neuromuscular disease.
She is also involved in medical education, teaching at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Vic, where she contributes to training in cardiac arrhythmias through problem‑based learning and clinical simulation.
Currently, Dra. Carballeira is pursuing her PhD at the University of Vic–Central University of Catalonia (UVic‑UCC), focusing on atrial fibrillation and the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in preventing atrial myopathy through cardiac rehabilitation—a line of work aligned with her long‑standing interest in integrating clinical electrophysiology, preventive cardiology, and translational research.
My last happenings:
Bringing Science Closer to the Classroom for a Second Consecutive Year during European Researchers’ Night 2026
As part of European Researchers' Night 2026, PhD candidate Clara Masó once again visited Els Castanyers School in Viladrau to bring science closer to young students. For the second consecutive year, pupils from 3rd, 4th and 5th grade took part in interactive workshops designed to introduce them to scientific research, health, hygiene, microorganisms and the scientific method through hands-on activities and discussion. During the first visit, Clara introduced pupils to several key scientific concepts, including the scientific method, the contributions of women in science, how wounds heal and why some wounds fail to heal, advanced wound therapies used in [...]

TR2Lab was present at ETRS 2026 Annual Meeting
Dr.Elisabet Sarri and PhD candidate Natalia Palacio, members of TR2Lab, participated in the ETRS 2026 Annual Meeting, "Research, Repair, Regenerate", held in Rouen, France, from 2 to 4 September 2026. Organized by the European Tissue Repair Society (ETRS), the meeting is recognized as one of the leading international forums for researchers and clinicians working in tissue repair, wound healing and regenerative medicine. The conference brought together experts from across Europe and beyond to discuss emerging strategies for improving wound healing, with scientific sessions covering topics such as inflammation and tissue repair, biomaterials and bioengineering, wound microbiology and biofilms, stem cells, [...]
