Elisa Oltra, aka Elisa Oltra Garcia, PhD., is a professor of Cell and Molecular Biology at the Universidad Católica de Valencia "San Vicente Mártir", Valencia, Spain. Her areas of research include stem cell, cancer, fibromyalgia and genetics.[1][2]

2017 Ramsay Award[edit | edit source]

A team comprised of Dr. Elisa Oltra of Universidad Católica de Valencia, Spain, and Drs. Lubov Nathanson, Vladimir Beljanski and Malav Suchin Trivedi of Nova Southeastern University, US, were awarded a 2017 Ramsay Award grant from the Solve ME/CFS Initiative for researching the effect of ME/CFS on epigenetic regulation in specific immune cell types.[3]
