Dr. Da Palma did his PhD (2015) at the Universidade Nove de Julho (Sao Paulo, Brazil). After completing her doctoral thesis, she pursued her current research interests in tissue engineering, disease models, and organ repair. Since then, she has focused on using the acellular extracellular matrix to characterize different lung diseases, such as asthma, COPD, and fibrosis, and propose new approaches in vitro. Furthermore, during her last postdoctoral research (2021), where she was awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship at IBEC (Barcelona, Spain), she developed devices that mimic organs such as the heart, lung, and intestine increased her interest in the organ-on-a-chip platform. Renata is a Professor of the Department of Physiotherapy at the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia (UVic-UCC).
Dr. Da Palma has years of experience in the field of regenerative medicine, biomaterial, cell-biomaterial interactions, organs-on-chip technology, decellularization, and generation of engineering tissues.

Inman, Anna López-Plana, Helga Bergholtz, Aleix Noguera-Castells, Pedro J. del Burgo, Xieng Chen, Therese Sorlie, Pere Gascón, Paloma Bragado, Mina Bissell, Neus Carbó & Gemma Fuster Abstract Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the second leading cause of cancer death. DCIS is common and accounts for 20-25% of new breast cancers, with 40,000 predicted in the US in 2020. DCIS lesions vary in [...]
Mariona Espaulella Ferrer has received the Osona Health Award
Mariona Espaulella Ferrer has received the Osona Health Award (Premis sanitat d'Osona) for her article, "Health Care Model for People Living in Nursing Homes Based on Integrated Care." The award recognizes her contribution to improving care for elderly residents through a collaborative health care model. The awarded article demonstrates the benefits of integrating primary care teams with a specialized geriatric team to enhance the health outcomes of nursing home residents. Espaulella's research shows that this approach leads to more personalized care, faster responses to health needs, and improved overall well-being for institutionalized individuals.
