I am a researcher at the Biomedical Research Institute (IIB Sant Pau), Barcelona, Spain, Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Public Health, and I am actively involved in perioperative care research, exploring strategies for diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and risk prediction, for better management of surgical patients. I have extensive experience in conducting large multicenter randomized clinical trials (RCT) and cohort studies. Currently, I am working on my PhD in Public Health and Biomedical Research Methodology at Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona. Research leadership: I am leading several local ongoing projects supported by local competitive grants. At the same time, I am successfully collaborating with the Population Health Research Institute (PHRI) Canada, as National Leader and National Coordinator representing Spain and making major contributions to large international multicenter trials. I am actively collaborating with the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) with focused guidelines for the use of cardiac biomarkers in perioperative risk evaluation. Knowledge translation: The results of the completed studies in the perioperative care research area have been practice changers, and most of them have been incorporated into clinical practice guidelines internationally.
