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 Cancer and myositis. Relevance of the anti-p155 antibodies and importance of the screening for cancer by Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography (PET/CT). Anti-p155 antibodies seem to be useful for the diagnosis of paraneoplastic myopathies. We have studied their prevalence and their diagnosis value in a cohort of 137 patients with inflammatory myopathies and we have observed that they have a high negative predictive value. On the other hand, the screening by PET/TC does not contribute much to the conventional screening of cancer in these patients.
