 Activitat investigadora:

L'activitat investigadora s'ha centrat fonamentalment en el marc de les malalties autoimmunes sistèmiques i en particular en la malaltia esclerodèrmica, tant en la seva vessant bàsica com en la clínica. Per al seu desenvolupament s'han obtingut diverses ajudes de caràcter competitiu el que ha generat una notable producció científica. El cos de la recerca pot concretar-se en més de 200 publicacions en revistes indexades, 28 capítols de llibres i 25 tesis dirigides. Coordinador nacional de la Línia de Recerca sobre esclerodèrmia dins del Grup de Malalties Autoimmunes Sistèmiques de la Societat Espanyola de Medicina Interna i Director Científic del Registre Nacional de malalts amb esclerodèrmia (RESCLE).

Research lines

Evaluation and characterization of cardiac involvement in patients with Systemic Sclerosis.

Cardiac involvement is one of the most serious internal organ involvements and the leading cause of death in SSc patients. The prevalence is 14% by clinical observation and even higher by autopsy Many SSc patients with cardiac involvement are asymptomatic or underdiagnosed. The condition may progress silently to overt clinical manifestations, including systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction, myocardial ischaemia, myocardial hypertrophy, heart failure, pericardial effusion and arrhythmias. Early detection of cardiac abnormalities is therefore very important. We evaluate cardiac involvement by echocardiography, MR, SPECT, and coronary CT.

Specific Antinuclear antibodies of scleroderma as markers for different clinical patterns.

We want to establish the relationship between the presence of specific autoantibodies for scleroderma (anti-centromere, anti-topoisomerase 1, anti-polymerase III, anti-U3 RNP, Anti-Th/To, Anti-Pm/Scl, anti-Ku) with the different demographic and clinical features as well as with the disease prognosis.

Genetic basis of scleroderma.

With this study we aim at studying the genetic background of the disease to deepen in its pathogenesis to be able to establish links between genetic variations and different clinic-biologic patterns. This research is based on a multicentric study and it is led by Prof. Javier Martín from the "Instituto López-Neyra" of Parasitology, CSIC (Granada). We contribute to it by sending samples from our cohort of patients along with the clinical data.

Related news

The new technology allows more sensitive detection of scleroderma patients' autoantibodies, which are related to the severity and progression of the disease.

Researchers have used an innovative protocol to identify people with this autoimmune disease who have a higher risk of cancer.

It will allow the promotion of research on systemic autoimmune-based diseases that especially affect women of childbearing age and, therefore, can also appear during pregnancy.
