Brief CV

Dr. Sebastià Albertí holds a PhD in Biology from the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB). He conducted postdoctoral research at Harvard University (1994–1997), in the Department of Microbiology at the University of Barcelona (1997–1998), and in the Department of Biology at the UIB (1998–1999). In 1999, he established his own research group at the Research Unit of the Son Dureta University Hospital, thanks to a Miguel Servet contract from the Carlos III Health Institute, where he worked until 2003. That same year, he joined the University of the Balearic Islands as Associate Professor of Microbiology, and since 2011 he has been Full Professor of Microbiology.

Dr. Albertí is the principal investigator of the Infection and Immunity group at IUNICS and IDISBA. His research focuses on the biology of bacterial infections, with particular emphasis on the study of virulence factors and their interaction with components of the human immune system, as well as mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance in clinically relevant pathogens. His scientific output can be consulted on ORCID: 0000-0003-0020-6861 or Google Scholar. He has supervised 11 PhD theses, and since 1999, his research has been continuously funded by public and private institutions, both national and international. During this period, he has been Principal Investigator in two competitive international projects, 12 national projects funded by the Spanish State Research Agency (AEI) or the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII), and 10 regional projects.

Dr. Albertí served as Director of the Scientific and Technical Services at the University of the Balearic Islands from 2005 to 2025. Between July 2018 and December 2022, he was Coordinator of the Biomedicine Area at the Spanish State Research Agency (AEI).
