I am a pediatrician, trained at Vall d’Hebron Hospital. I am currently working at VHIR as the coordinator of a competitive clinical trial on SARS-COV2 vaccination in pediatric population, and I am pursuing a master’s degree in Pediatric Infectious Diseases

I joined the Pediatric Infectious Pathology and Immunodeficiency Unit in June 2021 as part of the care team. Since January 2022 I have been studying the master’s degree in Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the UAB in the same Unit.
I am also currently working as the coordinator of the RBD-COV Competitive Clinical Trial consisting of SARS-COV2 vaccination in pediatric population. I am also part of the UPIIP care team, mainly on consultations in common infectious diseases.

Teaching:
Within the Unit, I am actively involved in the training of HPediatric residents.

Academic training
I studied Medicine at the University of Barcelona (2010-2016). I later specialized in Pediatrics and its specific areas at Vall d’Hebrón University Hospital (2017-2021), where I am currently studying the Master’s in Pediatric Infectious Diseases . During 2020, I have collaborated in several research projects of the Unit, as a sub-investigator.

The results show that, in some patients with mutations in the X chromosome, the healthy gene is inactivated and the mutated gene manifests itself, which favors the onset of the disease.

The study, which is part of the European RECOMB project, is currently recruiting volunteers.

This clinical trial is part of the European project RBDCOV, led by HIPRA in which Vall d'Hebron participates, whose recruitment is still open.
