Personal profile
ShortBio
Dr. Andrea García Lizarribar holds a Ph.D. in Biomedicine from the University of Barcelona. She graduated with a degree in Biotechnology from the University of Girona in 2015, where she completed her undergraduate thesis in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. In 2017, she obtained a Master's in Molecular Biotechnology from the University of Barcelona, where she worked on the fabrication of liposomes using microfluidic chips in the Nanobioengineering group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC). Dr. García Lizarribar completed her doctoral dissertation in the Nanobioengineering group at IBEC in 2022, specializing in the development of photocurable bioinks for the fabrication of in vitro models using 3D bioprinting techniques. Her research particularly focused on studying muscle tissue models and their applications in the field of metabolic diseases. Currently, she works as a researcher in the Biomaterials group of the Health Division at Tecnalia Research and Innovation. Her work focuses on the development and biological validation of biomaterials based on synthetic and natural polymers for the production of combined devices and 3D tissue models using additive manufacturing techniques.
