Elisa Herrero studied Biology (BSc Biochemistry) at the Autonomous University of Madrid (1975–1980). Her PhD research was conducted at CBMSO and concerned the scientific field of neurobiology; subsequently, she moved as a postdoctoral researcher at the Medical Research Council of Cambridge (England). She is also engineer in computing by the Technical University of Madrid, but she has not forgotten the traditional knowledge of the old people she knew at her country when she was a child.

On 31 May 2014 she organized, along with Miguel Herrero Uceda, a Meeting of Extremaduran Writers. She collaborates in the annual activities of the Complutense Week of the Letters at the Complutense University.
