Current position

Teresa Macarulla was Attending Physician at Gastrointestinal Tumors Service of the Medical Oncology Service at the University Hospital of Vall d’Hebron from 2004 to 2016.
She is currently Group Leader of VHIO´s Gastrointestinal and Endocrine Tumors Group and Noncolorectal GI Cancer Translational Research Group.

Academic Qualifications

Teresa Macarulla received her medical degree from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain, and carried out her residency at the Department of Medical Oncology at the University Hospital Sant Pau, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and obtained her PhD Degree in Medicine and Surgery at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona with “Cum Laude“ in 2015.

Areas of Research

She is co-investigator of several studies aimed at developing novel molecules against cancer, especially in the field of EGFR inhibition (recipient of the factor of epidermal growth), mutations or hyperactivity of which have been associated with the development of cancer. She is specialized in new targeted therapies against GI tumours, especially colon, hepatocarcinoma, pancreatic and biliary tract cancers. In addition, she assumes a key role within the Medical Oncology Department of the Vall d’Hebron University Hospital (HUVH).
Clinical research: As attending Physician of HUVH´s Medical Oncology Department and PI of VHIO´s Gastrointestinal & Endocrine Tumors Group, one of her principal undertakings surrounds clinical research and studies. In gastrointestinal tumors patients are included in clinical trials (phase I, II or III) specifically dedicated to ultimately improving outcomes for individuals with malignant colon, gastric, hepatocarcinoma, pancreatic, biliary, and oesophageal cancers. She has taken part and contributed in the design of clinical studies either as Principal Investigator or as part of trials developed within the context of cooperative national and international groups, as well as those supported by pharmaceutical companies.
Pre-clinical research: She is committed to the development of new therapies and phase I studies in solid tumours. Her particular interests focus on the development of therapies of molecular reveilles with a special emphasis on defining biological ideal dose through the analysis of pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics. Simultaneously she has also contributed to the characterization of molecular biomarkers of clinical efficiency in phase I trials.
Molecular scoreboards in gastrointestinal tumours: Teresa Macarulla is also dedicated to advancing insights into predictive factors of response and efficacy across various gastrointestinal tumors.
