Susana Rives Sola
Since 2000 I have worked as a specialist physician in the Paediatric Oncology Department of SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital and I'm head of the Hematopoietic System Tumors Unit. I combine healthcare with research. Among my main areas of interest are pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) and pediatric Philadelphia-positive leukaemias, as well as CAR-T therapy. I have been a member of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Haematology and Oncology (SEHOP) ALL production committee since 2013, where I coordinate, together with Dr José Luis Dapena, the Leukemia group. I am also the Spanish delegate in the international paediatric leukaemia and lymphoma group at the International BFM-SG. I currently coordinate the SEHOP working group for the registration of Philadelphia-positive chronic myeloid leukaemia. Expert in ALL and CAR T-cell therapy, I am the principal investigator of five CAR-T therapy clinical trials (academic and pharmaceutical industry) for paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
