Mª Teresa Tórtola Fernández I am responsible for the Mycobacteria Unit at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, which is the WHO Supranational Reference Laboratory for tuberculosis. My main line of research is the diagnosis of tuberculosis and the detection of resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Other lines of research are the detection and resistance of Mycobacterium abscessus complex due to its involvement in patients with cystic fibrosis and the application of molecular techniques either for epidemiology or the detection of mycobacteria.
