A la suite de ses études de médecine achevées en 1995 à l’Université de Buenos Aires en Argentine (UBA), Jesica Mazza-Stalder se spécialise en médecine interne et commence sa formation de pneumologie à la Fundacion Favaloro à Buenos Aires. Arrivée en Suisse en 2001, elle poursuit sa formation au CHUV, premièrement comme interne de pneumologie au CHUV, ensuite à l’Hôpital de Rolle, puis aux HUG.
En 2007, de retour au CHUV, elle devient chef de clinique dans le Service de chirurgie thoracique, puis dans le service de Pneumologie jusqu’en avril 2011 où elle est nommée médecin agréé.
Les axes de recherche de Jesica Mazza-Stalder concernent la mucoviscidose, la transplantation pulmonaire et la tuberculose. Dans le cadre de son activité au sein du service de pneumologie et en particulier au dispensaire antituberculeux (DAT), des liens ont été établis entre la Ligue pulmonaire vaudoise et la santé publique.
