Gemma Salvadó, PhD, is currently a post-doctoral researcher at Lund University (Sweden).

She was awarded the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie post-doctoral fellowship for her outstanding research. Gemma completed her PhD at the Barcelonaβeta Brain Research Center (Spain), where she focused on understanding the preclinical stages of Alzheimer’s disease through the use of neuroimaging and fluid biomarkers.

During her training she also spent some months at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Netherlands) thanks to a competitive personal fellowship from Alzheimer Nederland (Dutch Alzheimer’s Association). Her current work involves studying plasma and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers to gain insights into the disease progression.

She has presented her research at esteemed conferences in the field, including the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC), the Human Amyloid Imaging conference (HAI) and the International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease (AD/PD), for which she received the Junior Faculty Award.  She has actively contributed to two large European-funded (IMI) projects, namely EPAD and AMYPAD. Finally, Gemma has been engaged in teaching activities for the Human Biology bachelor’s program at Pompeu Fabra University (Spain)
