Since June 2018, Berta has been serving as a Nuclear Medicine Specialist at the Clinical University Hospital of Valladolid. In her daily practice, she focuses on diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine procedures, with particular expertise in cardiac imaging and metabolic disorders. Her clinical work integrates advanced imaging techniques including PET/CT and SPECT/CT for a wide range of oncological and non-oncological conditions.
Beyond her clinical duties, Berta actively contributes to medical education. During the 2020–2021 academic year, she taught Radiology and Physical Medicine at the University of Valladolid. She also participated in an innovative online teaching methodology project for postgraduate programs at the University of Salamanca, helping to shape the next generation of medical professionals through modern pedagogical approaches.
Her research interests span multiple areas, including participation in nationally and industry-funded projects such as the SINTESIS project (arterial inflammation and secondary stroke prevention), the ECCINGO project (funded by Pfizer), and studies on ATTR cardiac amyloidosis. She has also engaged in interdisciplinary research on artificial intelligence and mental health (2019–2020, University of Salamanca), demonstrating her versatility as a clinical researcher.
