Dr David Moreno-Ramírez
Chair & Clinical Director, Professor of Dermatology, Medical-Surgical Dermatology & Venereology Unit - Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena / University of Sevilla
The main clinical and research topics since his dermatology certification in 2003 have been the application of communication technologies to dermatologic care delivery, oncologic surgery of malignant melanoma, dermoscopy, epidemiology of skin cancer, and psoriasis. Telemedicine projects conducted have been supported by official competitive grants and public-health care institutional programs. These projects have given rise to an outstanding scientific output, and even the intellectual property registry has been achieved for some of the technologies developed.
In the field of melanoma Dr. Moreno-Ramírez heads a referential unit on the medical-&-surgical treatment of advanced malignant melanoma (primary tumor surgery, lymph nodes management, electrochemotherapy, systemic immunotherapy, etc.), and non-melanoma skin cancer surgery. This dedication led him to join the Melanoma Clinic of the Hospital Clinic (Barcelona-Spain) in charge of the dermatologic surgery area.
The interest in public health and health management led him to be appointed as Medical Director and Deputy Managing Director of the Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena between 2011-2015. He has also coordinated studies on epidemiology of malignant melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer.
Dr. Moreno-Ramírez is former President of the International Society of Teledermatology, board member of the European Association of Dermato-Oncology, member of the International Affairs Committee of the American Academy of Dermatology and member of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, and the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology.
