She was awarded a postdoc fellowship in biomaterials from the Ministry of Science at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) for bone tissue regeneration and since 2010 has been associate professor at this university. She was appointed principal investigator of the group of Biomaterials for Regenerative Therapies at IBEC in September 2012. Her research interests include the preparation and design of materials and scaffolds for in vitro and in vivo fundamental studies, and a further focus is the provision of useful tools to assess mechanisms that govern cell behavior in regenerative medicine. She has published around 80 papers in JRC journals and many invited lectures, and received the Barcelona City Council Award for her technological research.
