Caravaca-Fontán Fernando

Graduated in Medicine at the University of Extremadura in 2011, I specialized in Nephrology at the Ramón y Cajal University Hospital in Madrid between 2012 and 2016. Clinical research has been of interest to me since the beginning of the specialty, with the aim of being able to deepen the knowledge of the different renal pathologies and to be able to apply these results in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. During the training period I have been able to combine clinical activity with research training. Since 2016 I have been working at the Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre through different research grants, which has allowed me to combine both clinical and research activities. In November 2020 I had the opportunity to defend my doctoral thesis entitled "Molecular and Genetic Disorders in Glomerulopathies Caused by Complement Dysregulation. Genotype-Phenotype Correlations and Therapeutic Implications", which obtained the extraordinary doctorate award at the Complutense University of Madrid. In 2022 I also did a Research Training at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
