After studying Medicine at University of La Laguna, he specialized in Gastroenterology at Vall d'Hebron Hospital, Barcelona and was consultant gastroneterologist at Hospital Universitario de Canarias, Tenerife. He obtained his PhD in Medicine from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona in 2004 studying new molecular targets in different experimental models of colitis. He conducted post-doctoral studies funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Education (MECD/Fulbright)at the Institute of Molecular Medicine, Texas Medical Center, Houston, focused on platelet-tumour cell interactions under the supervision of Prof Radomski. In 2007 he was appointed as Science Foundation Ireland Stokes lecturer in Pharmacology, School of Pharmacy, TCD. Presently he leads a pharmacology research group which has been mainly supported by SFI and Enterprise Ireland. His research is primarily focused on: 1) pharmacological treatments for gastrointestinal diseases including liver; 2) platelet-tumour cell interactions and 3) nanomedicine.
