I am a doctor specialized in adult psychiatry and in child and adolescent psychiatry, with a doctorate in Psychiatry and Medical Psychology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). I develop my professional activity as Head of the Psychiatry Service and President of the Innovation Commission of Vall Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus. I lead the research group in Psychiatry, Mental Health and Addictions of the Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR). On a teaching level, I am professor of psychiatry in the Department of Psychiatry and Legal Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), and I coordinate the subject of psychiatry at the UAB and the fifth year of the medical degree at the Vall Hebron Hospital Teaching Unit of the UAB.

My professional work has focused on the study of neurodevelopmental disorders across the lifespan, primarily attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and depression more resistant to treatment. In this sense, I am the coordinator of the working group on neurodevelopmental disorders throughout life of the Spanish Society of Psychiatry and Mental Health (SEPSM) since 2022 and co-chairman of the ADHD network of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP ). I have published more than 300 articles in SCI journals (H-index: 66 and 24,660 citations) derived from multiple competitive grants at international and national level as principal investigator. I have also carried out different studies on digital health or eHealth and developed mobile applications in mental health such as gestioemocional.catsalut.cat together with CatSalut. At the national level, I coordinate the program of psychosomatic disorders, anxiety and impulse control of the Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red Salud Mental (CIBERSAM).I actively collaborate with different associations of people and family members with mental disorders in the fight against the stigma of mental disorders and their scientific dissemination.
