ABOUT ME
Academic background.
I have over 20 years of experience in clinical dermatology, medical research and skin health communication. I completed my PhD in Medicine at the Autonomous University of Madrid, graduating cum laude and receiving the Extraordinary International Doctorate Award. I carried out my doctoral research in collaboration with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York and MVZ Dermatopathologie in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
Professional career.
Throughout my career, I have published more than 100 scientific papers in journals indexed in the Science Citation Index. I taught Dermatology at the Autonomous University of Madrid for over 10 years and worked as a dermatologist in the Dermatology Unit at Fundación Jiménez Díaz for 11 years. I also served as Director of Communications at the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV) for four years.
Science communication.
Since 2020, I have devoted myself to what has become my true vocation: bringing the science of skin closer to people in a clear, rigorous and approachable way, so that medical knowledge is useful in everyday life. I regularly appear on national television and radio programmes, co-host the podcast De Piel a Cabeza with my sister, psychiatrist Rosa Molina, Spain’s most-listened-to medical podcast, and am the author of Piel sana, piel bonita.

MY BOOK
Piel sana, piel bonita.
The skin is the largest organ in our body and far more than a simple covering: it is alive, constantly renewing itself, and reflects our habits, our health and the passage of time. In this book, I want to help you understand how it works, what it truly needs and how to care for it with confidence and sound judgement, without falling for myths or empty promises. You will find science explained clearly, practical advice for everyday life, and answers about beauty, ageing, hair, nails and the most common skin conditions.
MY BOOK
Piel sana, piel bonita.
La piel es el órgano más grande de nuestro cuerpo y más que una simple cubierta: está viva, se regenera y refleja nuestros hábitos, salud y paso del tiempo. En este libro te cuento cómo funciona, qué necesita de verdad y cómo cuidarla con criterio, sin caer en mitos. Encontrarás ciencia explicada de forma clara, consejos útiles para el día a día y respuestas sobre belleza, envejecimiento, cabello, uñas y las enfermedades cutáneas más frecuentes.
Events.
I work with communications and marketing teams, bringing a scientific and dermatological perspective to corporate events, including talks, presentations, press events, panel discussions and workshops. My approach is to identify what genuinely adds value from a dermatological point of view and translate scientific evidence into clear, practical and actionable messages. I tailor each contribution to the needs of the audience, whether healthcare professionals, journalists or the general public.
