We are a leading healthcare campus encompassing all fields of health: from healthcare and research to teaching and management.
Professionalism, commitment and research by professionals on the Campus are the key elements in offering patients excellent care.
We are committed to research as a tool to provide solutions to the daily challenges we face in the field of medical healthcare.
Thanks to our healthcare, teaching and research potential, we work to incorporate new knowledge to generate value for patients, professionals and the organization itself.
We generate, transform and transmit knowledge in all areas of the health sciences, helping to train the professionals of the future.
We are defined by our vocation for communication. We invite you to share everything that happens at Vall d'Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus, and our doors are always open.

During my career, I have developed a strong interest to understand the cancer cell plasticity and the underlying transcriptional mechanisms. The combination of exhaustive Patient Derived Xenografts profiling with single cell technologies led to identifying melanoma cell vulnerabilities, proposing a completely novel perspective in cancer treatment, to target the non-genetic mechanisms of drug tolerance to eradicate the cancer cells. Resulting in a research article in Cell journal (Rambow et al, 2018) and a publication in Cancer Cell journal (Marin-Bejar et al, 2021).
I aim to establish a novel research program that will capitalize on the recent development of single cell transcriptome and epigenome profiling techniques with the aim of during cancer progression and therapy resistance.
The principal objectives of my future research as independent researcher will be:
Identify the vulnerabilities of the persister cells by single cell transcriptomic profiling and study novel drug combinatorial strategies to eradicate the resistant cells and prevent the appearance of relapse
