Sergi Castellví-Bel
About me
Group Leader of the “Genetic predisposition to Gastrointestinal Cancer” Group at FRCB-IDIBAPS in Barcelona. During over 30 years, he has worked on human monogenic/hereditary conditions and more recently on complex human diseases such as colorectal cancer, gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer. He was the Chair of COST Actions BM1206 and CA17118 (2013-2022) and recognized as Group Leader at his institution (2015). His research activities have resulted in >200 articles in highly ranked international journals and has attracted a high number of citations (presently 8,203), with an H-index of 48.
