Since the pandemic on March 2020, PI of the Pediatrics' research line in the Kids Corona Platform, achieving national and international collaborations (like the one with the research group "COVID Human Genetic Effort" leaded by The Rockefeller University).
Participation in more than 25 projects since 2007, as PI and collaborator, most of them in relation with infectious disease, inflammatory response, and biomarkers; with private and public competitive funding.
She has achieved more than 160 publications (ORCID 0000-0002-2041-4425), over 20 research projects (6 competitive grants), leader of 4 multicenter studies, and collaborator in 10 international projects. Her translational research has led to the design and validation of 3 infectious severity clinical scores, and to define the biomarkers impact and algorithmic application in severe and critical ill patients. PI was awarded with the "Award for professional excellence from the Barcelona Medical College" in 2017.
PI also has an active participation in professional and community diffusion activities (radio, television, newspapers) and is usually invited to talks (21 in the last 5 years).

Sant Joan de Déu begins four lines of research for the study of COVID-19
Researchers from the Sant Joan de Déu Research Institute and the Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona Children's Hospital are starting four projects to study COVID19 from a microbiological and clinical perspective with regard to inflammatory and maternal-foetal response. To do so, they need to recruit 500 families with children in which at least one adult has tested positive.
