Major Research areas
- Health inequities
- Social determinants of health
- Migration and health
- Maternal and child health

My main research line revolves around health inequities, with a special focus on the presence of the “healthy migrant paradox” in Europe. Also, I examine the determinants and long-standing consequences of outcomes derived from birthweight and gestational age. More recently, I investigate the effect of governmental policies on health.
