About me
Soy licenciado en Medicina por la Universidad de Valencia y Especialista en Neurología desde 2005 por el Hospital General Universitari de Castelló.
Desde 2005 dedicado a mi especialidad en el Hospital General Universitario de Castellón como responsable de la Unidad de Enfermedades Desmielinizantes del SNC.
Mi trayectoria profesional se ha desarrollado en el campo de la neurología general, habiéndome subespecializado en Neuroinmunología y especialmente en Esclerosis Múltiple.
Compagino mi labor asistencial con la docencia como profesor adjunto de Neurología de la Universidad Cardenal Herrera de Castellón (desde 2012) y profesor adjunto de Neurología de la Universidad Jaume I ( desde 2015)
