Maria del Mar Folqué Giménez

I am a graduate in medicine and specialise in Pediatrics and pediatric allergology From when I started my training as a pediatrician at SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital until now, the health of children has been the focus of my healthcare activity, especially in the field of allergy. In my first years as a pediatrician I combined general pediatrics with pediatric allergy, but since 2018, my professional activity, both in healthcare and research, has practically been entirely focused on allergic pathologies in children and adolescents, and I have been practising as an attending physician in the SJD Barcelona Allergy and Immunology Clinic.
