Urology

Biography

After her PhD based on therapeutic strategies for cancer cachexia (University of Barcelona), her first postdoctoral fellowship led her to work at the University of Sao Paulo (Brazil), where she studied the role of adipose tissue in inflammation during cachectic syndrome. When she returned to Barcelona, she obtained a postdoctoral position in the Group of Biomedical Research in Urology in the Research Institute of Vall Hebron Hospital. The last years, her main research has been in the field of biomarkers for the detection of aggressive prostate cancer. Recently, she spent a fruitful period at Mount Sinai Hospital (New York), where she studied the potential of miRNAs as therapeutic targets. The last year, she has also been focused in the study of urinary exosomes as a new source of biomarkers.
