About me
Clinical endocrinologist. I received my PhD from the University of Barcelona in 1989, focusing on pancreatic function in type 2 diabetes. A postdoctoral stay at the University of Cambridge enriched my scientific and technical knowledge of molecular biology. In 2008 I joined IDIBAPS as a leader of a clinical and basic research team centering the main lines of research on the pathogenia and prevention of diabetes. I have occupied appointments, as President of the Spanish Diabetes Society (2016-2020) and Council Member of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (2012 to 2015). Currently I am member of the Executive Committee of the Spanish Biomedical Research Network in Diabetes (CIBERDEM). Throughout my career, I have promoted and led initiatives bridging basic and clinical r
