Laura studied Electronic Engineering at Universidad Nacional de Colombia, holding a PAES scholarship - Best High School Graduates 2002, and received her diploma in 2008. In 2012 she received her diploma of MSc in Biomedical Engineering at Universitat de Barcelona and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, benefited by a Colfuturo PCB scholarship. Laura finished her PhD at the Department of Engineering - UPF, in 2016 holding a PRC fellowship.

After completing her PhD, Laura joined the Translational Research & Knowledge Management team (R&D) of Otto Bock (Germany), where she worked in the European H2020 research project Intuitive Natural Prosthesis UTilization - INPUT. She then moved back to UPF as Post-Doctoral fellow working for the ERC Project eAXON, in the European H2020 project EXTEND, and the ERC Proof of Concept project "SENSO-eAXON". Her work focused mainly in exploring and designing implantable medical devices capable of performing electrical stimulation and sensing. She then started developing entrepreneurial actions to bring BERG's technology to the market, first as the project leader of IntraSenso-eAXON - an entrepreneurial action supported by CaixaResearch Validate program from "la Caixa" Foundation, and now as the Project Coordinator of the European Innovation Council (EIC) Transition grant FORESEE.
