Gemma Vilahur is recipient of Ramon y Cajal contract (Spanish Ministery of Science and Innovation) at the Catalan Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences (ICCC).
Dr. Vilahur undertook Veterinarian degree (1994-1999) and her Ph.D. (1999-2004) focused on the antiplatelet efficacy of new antithrombotic strategies (nitric oxide donor compounds) in a pig model of thrombosis as well as unraveling their mechanism of action.
Dr. Vilahur has performed during 18th months (January 2005-June 2006) a post-doctoral fellowship at the Cardiovascular Research Laboratory-Mount Sinai School Medicine, New York (MEC). There, she carried out studies on the effect of selective estrogen receptor modulators, beta blockers, and HDL in the progression of cardiovascular diseases by performing imaging techniques (MRI and CT) and several molecular analysis.
Currently, she is performing studies on the cardiac regeneration capacity of stem cells in a pig model of acute myocardial infarction.
