Short biography
I am a medical doctor specialized in Preventive Medicine and Public Health. I obtained the PhD degree in 2008 and several Spanish competitive contracts: Río Hortega (2008), Miguel Servet I (2013), and Miguel Servet II (2018). I am ICREA Research Professor since December 2024. In 2016 I won the prestigious Walter A. Rosenblith New Investigator Award from Health Effects Institute, USA. I am the Director of the INMA Project, a unique multi-site birth cohort in Spain. I established myself as an international researcher (i.e., Adjunct Professor at Erasmus MC University Medical Centre; visiting scientist at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health) and an internationally and nationally recognized expert (e.g., Scientific Advisory Board member of the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research Leipzig; Associate Editor of European Journal of Epidemiology; member of several Spanish scientific and advisory committees; consolidated research group by the Catalan Governement).
