After training as a psychiatrist (Hospital de Bellvitge, 2006 - 2010), I devoted myself to research using neuroimaging techniques (magnetic resonance imaging) to study neurobiological bases and possible biomarkers in the disorders of autism, anxiety and anorexia nervosa. I obtained different competitive scholarships and I completed training periods abroad, and in 2015 I submitted my doctoral thesis, for which I received an extraordinary doctoral award.

Between 2016 and 2018 I carried out research tasks and clinics in the Hospital Parc Taulí, where I was part of the programme of care for individuals with autism during the transition to adulthood (TAVA), ongoing project, being co-PI of the related research. Since January 2018, I have been working in a mixed clinical-research post in the Mental Health Area at the SJD Barcelona Children’s Hospital. 

My area of clinical interest is autism, and, in terms of research, I am interested in the study of changes in neurodevelopmental trajectories in different mental disorders, as well as their potential recovery pathways. The combination of clinical and research work represents a challenge and enormous motivation.
