RECENT RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
After the medical degree, I combined clinical work in geriatrics with geriatric research in Germany with a grant of the LaCaixa-DAAD and with the “Early-career of the geriatric research fellowship of the Robert Bosch Foundation”. Afterwards, I returned to Spain and worked as researcher at the Foundation on Health and Ageing at the UAB from 2007-2021. From 2021, I conduct my research on ageing with a special focus on loneliness from UVic. I am research advisor in Parc Sanitari Pere Virgili under the lead of Prof. M. Inzitari.
I have participated and coordinated several national and European projects. I am currently the WP leader of the intervention studies on the H2020 project called RECETAS: Re-imagining Environments for Connection and Engagement: Testing Actions for Social Prescribing in Natural Spaces. I am also the coordinator of the Erasmus Plus JOIN4JOY, which emphasizes enjoyment and social inclusion to promote physical activity among older people in the community and in long-term care settings.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
My area of research is healthy ageing. My interests are the psychosocial aspects of ageing, specifically loneliness and social suport, as developed in my PhD in Public Health. From a methodological perspective, my expertise is on complex interventions and process evaluation using mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative procedures).
