The Vall de Hebron Campus has hosted the Research Day of the Catalan Institute of Health 2020-21, in which the ICS Research Awards for 2020 and 2021 have been released. The main focus of the conference was the current situation of research at ICS and in the world, and research in COVID-19.

In the area of research, she divides her research in the Emergency Department into two areas. On the one hand, a clinical aspect to describe the most prevalent emergency pathology, centred on cranial trauma, for which he has obtained competitive funding from the Mutua Madrileña Foundation. And on the other, a public health aspect, in which it has developed a screening programme for chlamydia infection, a community emergency, especially for young people. In terms of training, he is a lecturer at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya and the Universitat de Lleida, and has been a member of various scientific committees, conferences and speakers at different congresses.
