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.

Extracellular Matrix-Derived Hydrogel to Model and Study COPD
Renata Kelly da Palma carried out a three-month research stay in Brazil, at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo (USP), in collaboration with the research group led by Prof. Dr Paulo Manuel Pêgo-Fernandes. During this period, she worked on the development of extracellular matrix-derived hydrogels to model and study Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). These hydrogels are biomaterials obtained from extracellular matrix components and are designed to reproduce some characteristics of the natural environment of tissues. They can be used to create more realistic experimental models for studying disease mechanisms and may also have future applications in [...]
Phygital Bone: A biomimetic parametric model for 3D-printing human bone surrogates
Authors: Crespo-Santiago J*; Jordana X; Gesualdo M; Álvarez A; Andreu C; Mallafré H; Rzymelka V; Galtés I; Otero-Viñas M. Results in Engineering 2026 Jun;30:110448 DOI: 10.1016/j.rineng.2026.110448 Read More Abstract Accurate human bone surrogates are essential for biomechanical research. Existing commercial models provide limited control over microarchitectural features. In this study, we present Phygital Bone (PHyB), a biomimetic and fully customizable 3D-printed bone surrogate developed using algorithm-aided design (AAD) to reproduce key cortical and trabecular structures. PHyB specimens fabricated with commercially available resins were compared with fresh human femur samples and commercial surrogates. Structural validation was performed through [...]
TR2Lab contributes to a research project writing workshop at UVic-UCC
TR2Lab is pleased to announce its participation in an upcoming training workshop focused on scientific research project writing, organised by the Centre for Innovation and Educational Training (CIFE) at UVic-UCC. The workshop will take place on Thursday 2 July and Friday 3 July 2026, from 9:00 to 13:00, at the Masia Torre dels Frares (UVic-UCC, Vic). This face-to-face course is aimed primarily at secondary school teachers, especially those involved in supervising Treball de Recerca projects at upper secondary level. Participation is free of charge, and the activity is officially recognised by the Catalan Department of Education and Vocational Training, with a total duration of 8 hours. The workshop is designed [...]
