I've been a doctor for over 30 years now and I work at the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital.

Was born in Barcelona on May 1st, 1959. He obtained his medical degree at the University Autonomous of Barcelona in 1982, and so he did also the Doctoral Thesis at the same University in 1992. Since 2010 he is Associated Professor of Medicine, since june 2021 Full Professor. He attended to the internal resident program (MIR) at the Internal Medicine Department at Vall d’Hebron General Hospital in Barcelona from 1986 to 1990, and currently is working as a Senior Consultant and as Head at the Systemic Autoimmune Diseases Unit at the same hospital. He has been focused to the study of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy for more than 25 years and has published several relevant articles and book chapters on the field. Taking care of the patients, teaching at the University and doing research are the three main activities in regard to myositis patients he is committed to.

Research lines

Lung involvement in inflammatory myopathies.

With this study we want to study the natural history of this syndrome mediated by anti-synthetase antibodies, the characterization of new antibodies that may be used as markers for lung involvement, as well as we aim at understanding better the etiopathogenicity and the treatment of this organic illness in patients with myositis.

The new technology allows more sensitive detection of scleroderma patients' autoantibodies, which are related to the severity and progression of the disease.

Researchers have used an innovative protocol to identify people with this autoimmune disease who have a higher risk of cancer.

It will allow the promotion of research on systemic autoimmune-based diseases that especially affect women of childbearing age and, therefore, can also appear during pregnancy.
