I am a pediatric cardiologist and the medical coordinator of pediatric heart transplant program at Vall d'Hebron Hospital.

I studied medicine at the Hospital Clínic (University of Barcelona) from 1993 to 1999. I pursued studies in Philosophy between 1995 and 1997. I completed my residency in Pediatrics at Vall d'Hebron Hospital from 2000 to 2004. After this period, I began my training as pediatric cardiologist in the Pediatric Cardiology Department in Vall Hebron Hospital, where I specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure, acute myocarditis, and cardiomyopathies. I completed a training stay in pediatric heart transplantation as an observer at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh in 2006, and that same year, we initiated the pediatric heart transplantation program at our center. Since then, we have become a national reference center (CSUR) and the leading center for multi-organ transplants (heart and lung, heart and liver, and heart and kidney) in pediatric patients in Spain.
I completed my doctorate on "Acute Myocarditis" at the UAB in 2019 and have participated as an author in numerous scientific publications in national and international journals (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9076-241X). I have also participated in clinical trials as an investigator or co-investigator.
