ORCID: 0000-0001-8025-2416
Scientific Profile: URECERCA
Professor of the Faculty of Health Sciences and Welfare at the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia.
She did his Ph.D. in the Professor Pere Garriga laboratory at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. During her PhD studies, she focused on the structure-function relationships of the prototype of G-protein-coupled receptors Rhodopsin and in the molecular basis of disease associated with mutations in this important receptor causing retinal degenerations, like retinitis pigmentosa.
From 2008 to 2018, she joined as a researcher in the Chromatin Biology group led by Ph.D. Alex Vaquero, in the Department of Epigenetics and Cancer Biology Program at IDIBELL. Her primary research interest was to understand the mechanisms that rule Chromatin dynamics and in particular, how the post-translational modifications of the N-terminal tails of histones are important for ensuring a proper control of chromatin functions interplay with the rest of chromatin machinery to keep a healthy and efficient Chromatin organization.
After her incorporation as a Professor at the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia, Ph.D. Laia Bosch-Presegué has joined the Research Line of Epigenetics and tissue transformation in TR2Lab. Currently, her research is focused on studying epigenetic events in different pathologies and how different interventions can prevent their appearance, improve symptoms or contribute to their healing.

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.

The Fundació La Marató de 3cat, on the occasion of its edition dedicated to Sexual and Reproductive Health, has awarded diplomas to the researchers who will carry out the selected research projects, among which the one led by Drs. Vicente Peg (Hospital de la Vall [...]
Biomedicine Workshops: more than 1000 High School Students and participation from all Secondary Schools in Vic
The biomedicine workshops for high school students organized by the Tissue Repair and Regeneration Research Group (TR2lab) within the Educational Biomedicine Program of TR2lab and UDivulga program of UVic-UCC are a consolidated activity aimed at establishing a link between high school scientific education and university degrees. Additionally, the workshops serve as a very useful platform for disseminating biomedical science and fostering scientific vocations, conveying the curiosity and research initiatives of high school students. In this edition, more than 250 students from Osona and Vallès Occidental have participated in the workshops, and over 1000 high school students have enjoyed this [...]
