About me
Head of the Pulmonary Medicine and Respiratory Allergy Departmen at the Hospital Clinic de Barcelona. Currently, Head of the Pulmonary Hypertension Unit of the Hospital Clínic, National Reference Unit for Complex Pulmonary Hypertension, belonging to the European Reference Network for Rare Lung Diseases (ERN-LUNG). Research interests focus on pulmonary vascular diseases, especially those associated with chronic respiratory diseases; the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, both at the cellular and molecular level; and the physiology of vascular regulation of gas exchange.
