She has been a lecturer in the Department of Physiotherapy (UV) since 2000, and is currently employed by the Hospital Universitari i Politècnic La Fe, where she works as a lecturer, researcher and clinician in the Cardiorespiratory Therapy Unit. She has collaborated and led research projects, some of them multicentre and interdisciplinary, which have resulted in doctoral theses and master's theses in the field of cardiorespiratory physiotherapy, collaborating with renowned physiotherapists such as David A. Arnall, Rik Gosselink and Daniel Langer. This collaboration has resulted in teaching (University of Salford and ETSU) and research stays (ETSU and KU Leuven), scientific publications and others with academic value such as the ‘Respiratory Physiotherapy HERMES’ project and the article ‘The Long March’. This professional recognition has led her to direct the Master's Degree in Functional Recovery in Physiotherapy (2018-2025).

In summary, throughout her professional career at the UV, Professor Cebrià i Iranzo has developed teaching, research, care and management functions, which have currently contributed to her recognition and responsibility in different scientific, professional and social fields.

PhD in Physiotherapy from the University of Valencia, where she currently works as a permanent lecturer in the Faculty of Physiotherapy.

Her research focuses on two main lines: the evaluation and treatment of vulnerable populations, with particular attention to improving the quality of life of patients with chronic pain and sequelae of neurological or respiratory conditions; and the development of ethical competence in physiotherapy students, emphasizing its integration as a fundamental pillar for clinical practice and decision-making in healthcare settings.

In the educational field, she holds specialised training through a postgraduate qualification and a Master's degree in Neuroeducation from the University of Barcelona, aimed at deepening the understanding of neurobiological learning processes and their application in health sciences education. Her teaching work is further enhanced by her participation in the Clinical Simulation Committee in Physiotherapy, promoting innovative methodologies in the training of future physiotherapists. She is also co-founder of the ACAVALL Foundation, dedicated to improving the quality of life of people with functional diversity through animal-assisted interventions, and collaborates as a lecturer in various postgraduate programmes on neurorehabilitation and assisted therapies.
