Jacobo Sellarés
Pneumology and Respiratory Allergy Service PneumologistAbout me
Jacobo Sellarés is a pulmonologist at Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, where he directs the interstitial lung disease programme, and leads the IDIBAPS group Mechanisms of lung injury: from infection and critical illness to fibrosis. He obtained his PhD at the University of Barcelona (2010) and trained in systems biology at the University of Pittsburgh (2015-2017). His research seeks biomarkers of progression and treatment response in sarcoidosis and pulmonary fibrosis. He co-chairs the ERS SARCOIDOMICS network and has published nearly 100 papers.
