Dr. Carolina Gálvez-Montón graduated in Veterinary Medicine in 1999 from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), and obtained the degree of Doctor in 2012 from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Barcelona (UB) with Cum Laude degree and Extraordinary Prize UB 2012. She has Master's degrees in Veterinary Research and Food Sciences (2008), and in Science and Wellbeing of Laboratory Animals (2018) at the UAB. Since 2018 she is Associate Director of the ICREC research group at the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), responsible for cardiac tissue engineering in preclinical models of the IGTP. She has been awarded 7 projects as Principal Investigator and has been collaborating in more than 28 projects, has published 75 scientific articles, more than 140 conference communications, and 4 book chapters. Her research is focused on the search for new therapeutic strategies for myocardial infarction (MI) using cardiac tissue engineering approaches in the porcine pre-clinical model. Her doctoral thesis led to a new treatment for MI that has generated a Phase I clinical study, and of which a multicenter Phase II-III study is currently being carried out. She has been a teacher in various editions of the Laboratory Animal User Research Personnel Course at the UB, has tutored 3 high school students, and 3 end-of-degree students. She is currently the director of 3 doctoral theses and is a member of the Animal Experimentation Ethics Committee of the IGTP.
