Curriculum Vitae Summary

Dr. Natalia López-Andrés (NLA) graduated in Biological Sciences at Universidad de Navarra, Spain. In 2006, she was awarded a PhD in Cardiovascular Research (University of Navarra, Spain). She previously held a Postdoctoral position at the Division of Cardiovascular Sciences in the Centre for Applied Medical Research (Pamplona, 2006-2008), focusing on heart failure within a multidisciplinary group.

In 2008, NLA joined the research unit U961 at INSERM (Nancy, France), where she served as a Research Associate until 2013. She developed vast expertise in studying the mechanisms of action, diagnosis, and therapeutics of cardiovascular stiffness-fibrosis and hypercoagulability.

In 2014, she received a competitive Research Fellowship ‘Miguel Servet’ from the ISCIII-Spanish Government. This fellowship allowed her to independently establish and lead a multidisciplinary Cardiovascular Translational Research Group at Navarrabiomed-FMS (Spain). Her primary research interest is the pathogenesis of heart valve disease (HVD), while expanding her expertise in myocardial remodeling underlying other forms of cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease. Over the past 10 years, NLA has become an internationally acknowledged expert studying the role of the Aldosterone/mineralocorticoid receptor (Aldo/MR) axis, galectin-3, and cardiotrophin-1 and its biotargets in valvular, myocardial, vascular, and renal fibrosis.
