Ricardo is a biologist with a Master’s degree in Biodiversity, Ecology, and Conservation. His research experience is focused on biotechnology, microbiology, and tissue bioengineering, working in graduate-level research laboratories dedicated to experimental biomedical investigation. His current scientific interests center on microbiome–host interactions and their role in chronic inflammatory diseases. During his PhD in the Medicine and Biomedical Sciences program at the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia, he aims to investigate the mechanistic links between gut dysbiosis and respiratory diseases through the gut–lung axis using innovative microfluidic models. His research seeks to advance understanding of microbiome-driven mechanisms in human health and disease.
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 [...]
