About me
Medical oncologist since July 2018 with a special focus on breast cancer, and PhD since March 2021. Currently, I am a Juan Rodés emerging principal investigator at Hospital Clínic of Barcelona, mainly focused on the identification and validation of biomarkers to develop new treatment strategies in breast cancer—especially HR+/HER2-negative—and on studying the prognostic and predictive role of the fecal and intratumoral microbiota in breast cancer. I am also an adjunct professor at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Barcelona, and author of over 80 articles in international peer-reviewed journals. I am a founding member and part of the SOLTI Young Executive Board.
