Introduction<\/h2>\n

I am a dermatologist and researcher<\/strong> specialising primarily in psoriasis and other inflammatory skin diseases. Throughout my career, I have focused my clinical practice, research and training on a specific objective: to understand these diseases more fully in order to manage them with greater precision, depth and personalisation. <\/p>\n

I work at Hospital Universitario Ram\u00f3n y Cajal <\/strong>and Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n<\/strong>, where I lead a highly specialised unit dedicated to psoriasis and inflammatory skin diseases. I am General Director of ICMR (International Center for Medical Research)<\/strong>, the dermatology research centre of Fundaci\u00f3n Pedro Ja\u00e9n, where we conduct studies and clinical trials in psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions. I also teach at the Faculty of Medicine of Universidad Francisco de Vitoria<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Psoriasis at the centre of my career<\/h3>

Psoriasis has been central to both my clinical and research career. My dedication to this disease stems from the need to provide more specialised<\/strong> care for patients who, in many cases, require more than a standard treatment or a short-term response to an individual flare-up. <\/p>\n

Over time, this focus has allowed me to develop an approach based on a high degree of specialisation, individual assessment and careful follow-up of each case, always with the conviction that good dermatological care requires in-depth knowledge, sound clinical judgement and a broad understanding of the patient.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

A comprehensive view of psoriasis<\/h3>

My approach is based on a clear principle: psoriasis cannot be understood solely<\/strong> as a skin disease.<\/p>\n

For many patients, its impact extends beyond visible lesions and requires attention to other factors that may influence disease progression, quality of life and general health. For this reason, I place particular importance on comprehensive disease assessment, associated comorbidities and each patient\u2019s individual circumstances. <\/p>\n

This perspective allows me to make more precise therapeutic decisions and develop a management strategy that better reflects the clinical reality of each patient.<\/p>\n

I apply the same approach to other immune-mediated skin diseases<\/strong>, including atopic dermatitis and hidradenitis suppurativa, because I believe that this comprehensive perspective is also essential to managing these conditions with greater precision.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Research as part of my clinical practice<\/h3>

Research is not a secondary part of my career. It is an essential part of how I practise medicine.<\/p>\n

At Hospital Universitario Ram\u00f3n y Cajal, I have developed clinical and research activity focused on psoriasis, its comorbidities and the comprehensive assessment of patients. In parallel, through ICMR I participate in research projects and clinical trials that allow me to remain closely connected with relevant advances in psoriasis and other inflammatory skin diseases. <\/p>\n

This integration of clinical care and research <\/strong>enables me to work from an up-to-date scientific perspective and reinforces the rigour with which I assess each case and make clinical decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
