Victoria Alcaraz Serrano

Victoria Alcaraz Serrano is an Associate Lecturer at the Blanquerna School of Health Sciences, Universitat Ramon Llull. Her research focuses on respiratory diseases including bronchiectasis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, and COVID-19-related respiratory complications. She has contributed to over 40 peer-reviewed publications with a h-index of 17 and 595 citations. Her work emphasizes microbiological and clinical aspects of chronic respiratory conditions, particularly viral-bacterial interactions and exercise physiology in affected populations. Collaborations span international institutions including the University of Copenhagen and multiple European clinical research networks.

Key research areas include pathogen virulence mechanisms, lung microbiome dynamics, and clinical trial validation of functional assessment tools for COPD. Notable projects include analyzing Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection patterns in bronchiectasis and evaluating mechanical ventilation strategies in critically ill patients. Her work integrates clinical practice with translational research to improve respiratory disease management.
