Introduction
I am a PhD Student at National Influenza Centre of Valladolid (Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid). My research career started in retina, studying visual system development and pathologies, but switched to respiratory viruses later. My main research interest is the link between pain and respiratory viruses. Moreover, I work on the search of new predictive factors of prognosis.
