PostCROI 2027. Una actualización de la «34th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections»

Eugènia Negredo earned her medical degree and PhD from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), and completed her residency in Internal Medicine at Sant Pau Hospital.

Since 1999, she has led the HIV Section at Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital (HGTiP) and coordinates a research group focused on HIV-related complications and associated chronic inflammation, with a special emphasis on aging.

She contributes to national and international clinical guidelines on comorbidities and aging (GESIDA, PNS, EACS), and since 2014 has been a professor and coordinator of the Medical degree at UVIC-UCC.

Since 2016, she has co-directed the international workshop “Comprehensive Management of Aging and HIV”, held annually in Barcelona and Buenos Aires.

Graduated in Medicine from the University of Barcelona in 2003 and Specialist in Internal Medicine in 2009. He holds a Master’s Degree in Infectious Diseases from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and a PhD in Medicine summa cum laude from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, obtained in 2013.
He is Head of the HIV-STI Unit at Hospital del Mar in Barcelona. He has developed his clinical career at Hospital del Mar and various private healthcare centers as an infectious diseases physician. He leads a research line on inflammation associated with chronic viral infections at the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM). He is currently an associate researcher at the Department of Immunology & Infection at the University of California, Davis, where he completed a postdoctoral stay in 2018 and 2019.
He has published over 50 articles in indexed journals and is the first author of more than 20 of them.

Adrià Curran is a staff physician of the Infectious Diseases Department and the coordinator of the Anal Dysplasia Screening Unit of Vall d’Hebron University Hospital. He has carried out specific training on HPV anal dysplasia in HIV patients at the University of San Francisco (CA, USA) with Prof. Joel Palefsky. He is a member of the International Anal Neoplasia Society. He participates as a researcher in multiple international clinical trials and has published more than 100 articles in national and international journals and book chapters on various aspects of HIV infection, HPV and its treatment.

Marta Massanella is graduated in Biology at Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona) and completed her PhD in Biomedicine at IrsiCaixa under the supervision of Dr. Julià Blanco in 2012.

During her PhD, she characterised the immunodiscordant response to antiretroviral therapy (ART) in individuals on HIV treatment and was involved in different ART intensification studies. Then joined Dr. Douglas Richman’s lab at the University of California San Diego as a postdoctoral fellow, where she developed several studies to quantify the size of the HIV reservoir.

In 2015, she joined Dr. Nicolas Chomont’s lab to conduct HIV reservoir studies at CR-CHUM (Montreal, Canada). His studies focused on the characterisation of different CD4 T-cell subtypes in the maintenance of the HIV reservoir. She also participated in different clinical projects to determine the influence of the timing of ART initiation on the establishment and persistence of the HIV reservoir in adults and paediatric population.

In 2020 she joined IrsiCaixa as Principal Researcher to understand the main mechanisms that contribute to the particular and accelerated ageing of the immune system in the HIV-positive and ART-treated population.

ICREA Research Professor and Principal Investigator at Retrovirology and Clinical Studies research group, Irsicaixa AIDS Research Institute, Barcelona, Spain.
