Eudald Llauradó-Calero

I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (specialization in
Clinical and Forensic Biochemistry) in the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in 2018, during which I
completed a five-month internship at Stem Cell and Developmental Biology research group
of Technische Universität Darmstadt (Germany) conducting my Bachelor Thesis project.
Subsequently, I obteined the interuniversity Master of Science in Advanced Immunology
imparted by the Universitat de Barcelona and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. During
this program, I carried out my Master Thesis project through a research internship at the
Department of Oncological Hematology and Transplants. As a next step, I started my PhD at the
Animal Nutrition program of IRTA, supported by an INIA predoctoral grant (PRE2018-086726),
within the framework of the PhD programme in Nutrition and Metabolism at Universitat Rovira i
Virgili. My research focused on the effects of n-3 long-chain fatty acids as a nutritional strategy
in sow and piglet diets. Specifically, we studied their impact on productive performance in sows
and perinatal piglet growth, as well as physiological parameters such as fatty acid and oxylipin
profiles, immune markers, microbiota composition, and transcriptomic responses. During this
period, I also undertook a four-month PhD internship at Aarhus University (Denmark), within
the Section for Monogastric Nutrition of the Department of Animal Science.

After completing my PhD, I joined the SNiBA research group as an INVESTIGO postdoctoral
researcher, where I am involved in both public research projects and private industry
contracts. Currently, my research is primarily focused on swine and poultry. Specifically, my research encompasses several areas, including the evaluation of the efficacy and functionality of feed ingredients and additives, studies on productive efficiency, gut health and animal welfare, the application of sensor technologies, and the identification of novel inflammation biomarkers, among others.
