Leader of the Adaptive Physiology Group: Exercise, Hypoxia and Health (GenCat consolidated group 2021 SGR 01110) at the Department of Cell Biology, Physiology and Immunology from the UB School of Biological Sciences (BKC: Barcelona Knowledge Campus). Also I'm scientific responsible for the Service of Hypobaria and Biomedical Physiology at UB Bellvitge Campus (HUBc: Health Universitat de Barcelona Campus). Current research interest on the adaptive responses against hypoxia conditions, especially intermittent hypobaric hypoxia exposure. We have developed studies at central level (cardiovascular, hematological and ventilatory responses) as also at peripheral level (capillarization and morphofunctional changes in skeletal muscle and myocardium). Over 200 publications in scientific journals. Extensive experience as a teacher in General Biology, Environmental, Animal and Human Physiology. From 1991 I participate in innovation projects about Physiology Teaching, being a founding member of GRINDOFI team. I'm involved in technology transference activities at the sports medicine and biomedical fields. I served as Coordinator of the ALTMEDFIS Network (Red Iberoamericana de Medicina y Fisiología de Altura) from CYTED program (Programa Iberoamericano de Ciencia y Tecnología para el Desarrollo) (2013-2017) and the HYPOXSPORT Network (2019-2024) funded by Consejo Superior de Deportes of Spain ORCID ID 0000-0003-4942-2346
