Scientific Profile: URecerca
Eulàlia Puigdecanet is Professor in the Faculty of Medicine and in the Faculty of Sciences and Technology at the University of Vic-Central University Catalonia (UVic-UCC).
Dr. Puigdecanet research career has been related to genomics and molecular biology by performing translational research using high-throughtput technologies. She developed her PhD within a hospital context, at Cytogenetics and Molecular biology Laboratory at Hospital del Mar (Barcelona). She focused on the characterization of haematopoietic diseases at molecular level using techniques for omics data analysis together with routine diagnostic procedures. Later, she continued her research career within the Microarray Analysis Service at the Institut Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM), where she worked as Laboratory Responsible (2009-2019). In this period, she developed multiple projects using high-throughput technologies to elucidate the genomic and molecular basis of cancer and other diseases. Currently, she has joined TR2Lab to investigate the mechanisms underlying tissue repair and regeneration.
Eulàlia Puigdecanet is PhD in Cellular Biology from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (2012) and a degree in Biology from Universitat Pompeu Fabra (2003), with a specialization in Clinical analysis laboratory.

A key amino acid site associated with rhodopsin mammal evolution to diurnal vision.
Authors: Fernández-Sampedro MA, Ramon E, Aguileta G, Bosch-Presegué L, Garriga P. Sci Rep. 2025 Dec 26;16(1):411 doi:10.1038/s41598-025-29872-9. Read More Abstract Rhodopsin is a photoreceptor protein found in the vertebrate retina used as a landmark for vision evolution studies at the molecular level. Here, we examined the biochemical and functional performance of modern rhodopsin from three different mammal species- bovine, murine and human-to analyze their visual pigment evolutionary relationships. We selected these species for their relevance in vision research, their different position on the phylogenetic tree and their diverse ethology regarding nocturnal (mouse) and diurnal (bovine and human) life.

The diagnostic accuracy of HE4 in the differential diagnosis of pleural effusions.
Authors: Bérgamo S, Trapé J, González-García L, González-Fernández C, Vergara C, la-Torre ND, Bosch-Presegué L, Otero-Viñas M, Catot S, Crespo-Casal M, Rives-Jimenez J, Arnau A, Costa R, Cugat JR, Gonzalez-Sánchez F, Pla-Salas X, Sant F. Clin Chim Acta. 2025 Jan 30;566:120027. doi:10.1016/j.cca.2024.120027 Read More Abstract Background: Pleural effusions are challenging to diagnose, with approximately 20-50% of malignant effusions not diagnosed by cytology. Human epididymal protein 4 (HE4) may be useful in the differential diagnosis of pleural effusions. In serum, this biomarker shows false-positive results in some benign diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic utility [...]
Utility of human epididymis protein 4 in the differential diagnosis of ascites
Authors: Bérgamo S, Trapé J, González-García L, González-Fernández C, Vergara C, de-la-Torre N, Trujillo G, Estivill D, Álvarez-González MA, Bosch L, Otero-Viñas M, Bergós C, Catot S, Ruiz-Hidalgo D, Ros S, Sant F Clin Biochem. 2023 Oct;120:110645. doi:10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2023.110645. Read More Abstract Background and aims: Human epididymal protein 4 (HE4) may be a useful tool in the differential diagnosis of malignant ascites. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of HE4 for detecting malignant ascites, taking into account the possible false positives identified with adenosine deaminase (ADA), C-reactive protein (CRP), % polynuclear cells (%PMN) and [...]
