I am a paediatric oncologist and since 2022 I have been working in Paediatric Oncohaematology at the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital. My clinical and research activity focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of paediatric solid tumours.

I studied Medicine and Surgery at the Faculty of Medicine in Albacete (University of Castilla-La Mancha), followed by a specialisation in Paediatrics and its Specific Areas at the Virgen de la Arrixaca University Clinical Hospital in Murcia (HCUVA). I then completed a Master's degree in Paediatric Oncology and Haematology at UNIR. I then completed a fellowship in Paediatric Oncology and Haematology at the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital (HUVH) in Barcelona. I then joined the paediatric oncology department as an assistant.

The project’s 4th annual meeting was recently held as part of the Fortalece–Salud programme of the Carlos III Health Institute.

Vall d'Hebron is one of the centers that coordinate this network, which so far has enabled the detection of high-risk genetic alterations and the provision of personalized treatments that have already achieved remission in cases with very few therapeutic alternatives.

The projects, selected under the 2026 Health Research and CaixaImpulse Health Innovation calls, address topics ranging from new therapies for childhood neurological disorders and Parkinson’s disease to the treatment of mitochondrial diseases and cancer.
