Eva Polverino is Doctor of Medicine in Cardiopulmonary Pathophysiology from the University of Pisa (Italy). She currently works as postdoctoral clinical researcher at the Hospital Clinic in Barcelona, IDIBAPS. Specialist in respiratory medicine, she is involved in the field of respiratory infections and particularly in Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP), noncystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) and humoral immuno-deficiencies. She investigates epidemiology, risk factors, outcome, treatment and prevention of the most relevant respiratory infections. In the field of bronchiectasis main objectives are focused on investigation of the prevalence and outcomes of this underestimated but very frequent disease, and its impact on the society. The results of her research are aimed at investigating pathogenetic mechanisms of respiratory infections, improving their clinical outcomes and patients’ quality of life.
