Academic interests

In the DVH research team, my primary focus lies in advancing the exploration of protein biomarkers through mass spectrometry techniques. Initially, my efforts have focused on identifying markers of treatment efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis. This entails delving into the intricate molecular signatures that characterize the response to therapeutic intervention in this autoimmune disease. Beyond this scope, I harbor a distinct interest for delving into the realm of vascular diseases. By leveraging the power of mass spectrometry, I aspire to contribute to the elucidation of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets that could potentially improve the diagnosis and treatment of several disorders.

Teaching

I teach pharmacology to medical students, aiming to familiarize them with fundamental pharmacological concepts to enhance their prescribing abilities. Additionally, I participate in OSCEs (Objective Structured Clinical Examinations), where students are placed in scenarios involving patients or their relatives. These simulations provide practical experience and assess their clinical skills. I also teach as part of an inter-university diploma titled “Pharmacological Therapeutic Monitoring,” designed for physicians or pharmacists holding a degree or currently studying, who wish to deepen their knowledge on this subject
