I am a member of the Executive Committee of the International Headache Society and the European Headache Federation and of the Committee for Clinical Trials of the International Headache Society. In addition, I am a member of the American Headache Society.

I specialized in the field of headache in the United States and London, in the laboratories of Professor Silberstein (Thomas Jefferson University) and Professor Goadsby (University of California at San Francisco and University College London – Queen Square), with the help of the “la Caixa” scholarships, AHS, EFNS, Rio Hortega, GECSEN.

My interest in the field of research focuses on better understanding the pathophysiology of migraine from a multidisciplinary approach using genetics, neuroimaging and electrophysiology. I have developed the Migraine Adaptive Brain research program that focuses on the neurosensory brain. I am a member of the International Consortium of Migration Genetics.

To carry out research projects I have received grants from the “la Caixa” Banking Foundation, the FIS (Health Research Fund) of the Carlos III Institute, the La MaratóTV3 Foundation, Migraine Research Foundation, MICINN (Ministry of Science and Innovation) and the Mutual Medical.
