Specializations

Inflammatory Bowel and Autoimmune Disease

Clinical research activity includes inflammatory bowel disease and related immune-mediated conditions, with a particular focus on Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The investigator is also involved in studies of systemic inflammatory disorders affecting joints and connective tissue.

  • Crohn’s disease
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Psoriatic arthritis
  • Axial spondyloarthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis

Additional interests extend to systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren’s syndrome, reflecting a broad therapeutic involvement in chronic immune dysregulation.

Oncology and Solid Tumors

The investigator participates in oncology research spanning breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, and other advanced solid malignancies. This includes therapeutic interest in tumor subtypes defined by receptor status and molecular alterations.

  • Breast cancer
  • Non-small cell lung cancer
  • Melanoma
  • Urothelial carcinoma
  • Gastroesophageal cancer

Research activity also covers lymphoma and myelodysplastic syndromes, supporting work across both solid and hematologic malignancies.

Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disorders

Clinical trial involvement includes atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and lipid-related risk conditions. The investigator’s therapeutic scope also reaches thromboembolic prevention and rhythm-related cardiovascular disease.

  • Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
  • Heart failure
  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Acute ischemic stroke
  • Dyslipidemia

Related areas include hypertriglyceridemia, myocardial infarction, and cardiometabolic risk reduction.

Nephrology and Renal Immune Disease

The investigator is active in renal research centered on chronic kidney disease and immune-mediated glomerular disorders. These studies include conditions with proteinuric kidney injury and complement-driven renal inflammation.

  • IgA nephropathy
  • Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
  • Complement-mediated kidney disease
  • Lupus nephritis
  • Membranous nephropathy

Therapeutic interest also extends to end-stage kidney disease and renal complications associated with cardiovascular and autoimmune conditions.

Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Therapy

Within the Infectious Diseases Department, the investigator is involved in trials addressing bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, including severe and recurrent disease. The portfolio includes treatment strategies for systemic infections and resistant pathogens.

  • Candidemia
  • Clostridioides difficile infection
  • Severe gram-negative bacterial infections
  • Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia
  • HIV infection

Additional work includes pneumonia, infective endocarditis, and other complex infectious syndromes managed at Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena.
