Nuria Perez Alvarez is a researcher in Bioestadística i Bioinformàtica (GRBIO group) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), affiliated with the Facultat d'Informàtica de Barcelona (FIB) and the Departament d'Estadística i Investigació Operativa. She holds a degree in Statistics, a doctorate in Statistics and Operational Research, and a postgraduate degree in Biostatistics. Her work focuses on statistical methods applied to clinical trials, HIV/AIDS research, and epidemiological studies, with a particular emphasis on virological outcomes, immunological markers, and comorbidity management in chronic conditions.

Her research spans over 148 documented activities, including peer-reviewed articles, grants, and collaborations. Key areas include analysis of antiretroviral therapy efficacy, neurocognitive impairment in HIV patients, bone mineral density progression, and cardiovascular risk factors. She has led projects like the 'STAT WARS' initiative and contributed to studies on therapeutic vaccination and liver fibrosis in coinfected populations.

Her work frequently addresses methodological challenges in survival analysis, multi-state models, and biomarker validation. She collaborates with institutions like the Institut de Recerca i Innovació en Salut and has been involved in international clinical trials evaluating drug regimens and prophylactic strategies. Nuria's interdisciplinary approach bridges biostatistics with translational medicine, addressing both clinical and public health challenges in infectious diseases.
