Elisabet Pallarés

Elisabet Pallarés graduated from a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Sciences (2019) and a master’s degree in Neurosciences (2020), both at Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB). During her years as a student, Elisabet acquired knowledge in the neuroscience and biomedical fields, working as a research assistant in the Institute of Neurosciences of the UAB.

Despite Elisabet’s biomedical background, she has always had a special interest for educational projects. Therefore, in 2021 she joined the Lab of Learning at the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam (VU) as an intern through an Erasmus exchange program.

She continued working as a science educator in projects such as “La Marató de TV3” and “Funbrain”, communicating scientific knowledge and bringing science and health awareness to children and teenagers. She’s currently finishing her master’s degree to become a secondary school teacher (Màster de formación del professorat de secundaria UPF-UOC).

In 2024, she joined the Living Lab for Health at IrsiCaixa as a project manager working with the Escoles Sentinella Network. This project aims to promote and define a model of health that implements and evaluates personalized and integrated interventions in schools and their communities by creating community partnerships with participatory research.
