Scientific Profile: URECERCA
Part time lecturer on the Department of Cell Biology, Immunology and Neuroscience, at the Faculty of Medicine of University of Barcelona, and part time lecturer at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the Universitat de Vic – Universitat Central de Catalunya.
Dr. Sarri (Biology, 1989) began her professional career at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Medicine. Autonomous University of Barcelona, where she did a Masters (1991) and doctoral thesis disertation on the mechanisms of neurotransmission (1996). She combined teaching (Biochemistry, Neurochemistry and Biochemical Pharmacology) and research at the Faculty of Medicine and Sciences (Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, 1994-2000). In this period she did several research stays at the University of Mainz (Germany), the University of Extremadura and the Institute of Biomedical Research of Barcelona, working in intracellular signaling mechanisms and supervising final degree research projects.
Then she worked as a Postdoc in the Department of Physiology, University College London (UK, 2000-2002), the Experimental Cardiology Laboratory of the Research Institute Vall d’Hebron (2002-2006) and the current department of the Faculty of Medicine (Universitat de Barcelona, 2007-present) where she worked on the mechanisms of vesicular tranport. Since 2010 Dr Sarri research focus has been the interaction between cells and the extracellular matrix arterial wall, combining it with teaching histology and microscopic organography in Medicine and Biomedical Engineering degrees at Universitat de Barcelona. She has leaded two research projects (FIS-2003 and Marato TV3-2012) and contributed in eight research projects. She published 27 original research articles and one review in indexed journals.
My last happenings:
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, [...]
Biomedicine Workshops: Connecting Biomedical Sciences with Upper Secondary Students
The Biomedicine Workshops, organized by TR2Lab as part of the Educational Biomedicine Program, are a well-established scientific dissemination activity aimed at high school students. The primary goal of these workshops is to bridge the gap between high school science education and university degrees. Additionally, they provide an excellent platform for disseminating biomedical sciences, fostering scientific vocations, and channeling the curiosity and research initiatives of high school students. Since the 2015-2016 academic year, more than 1,000 students from Osona and Vallès have had the opportunity to participate. Both teachers and students highly value several key aspects of the activity.

A Prospective Observational Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy for Complex Wounds
Authors: Salgado-Pacheco V, Oller R, Ferrer-Solà M, Masó-Albareda C, Casals-Zorita M, Sarri E, Puigoriol-Juvanteny E, Espaulella-Panicot J, Otero-Viñas M*. Read more A prospective observational study to evaluate the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma therapy for complex wounds: influential clinical variables on wound healing outcomes Abstract Objective: Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has shown promising outcomes in treating wounds, but the profile of patients benefiting most from this therapy is not known. This study aimed to identify influential variables in the success of this therapy, analyzing its personalized therapeutic potential for complex wounds. Approach: A prospective observational study was conducted in elderly patients with complex wounds receiving autologous PRP. Patient's [...]
