Principal Investigator: HIV-TB in One
- BSc in Biological Sciences (1993). Universitat de Barcelona. Spain.
- MSc (1996) and PhD in Clinical Microbiology (2000). Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
- Post-doctoral stage in the Respiratory & Systemic Infection Laboratory, Health Protection Agency (Collindale, UK) working in molecular methods for TB resistance detection.
- Associated Professor of Microbiology. Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona.
- We have been working in the last 20 years in the development and evaluation of methods for the diagnosis of respiratory tract infections and TB (>100 publications).
- For the past last years my focus has been on the use of IGRAs, genotyping methods, and molecular drug-resistance detection tests.
- I have received grants from National (Health Spanish Ministry) and International (EDCTP and FP7) Agencies.
