Ignacio Ricci Cabello

Principal investigator of the EVISAP research group

Researcher with over 15 years of postdoctoral experience. After working at leading institutions both nationally (Andalusian School of Public Health) and internationally (University of Oxford), I obtained a Miguel Servet contract (Carlos III Health Institute), which enabled my incorporation into IdISBa. I am currently a tenured researcher and Principal Investigator of the EVISAP group.

I work alongside a multidisciplinary team in the area of health services, coordinating various projects related to Digital Health, Patient Safety, and the prevention and management of chronic diseases (especially diabetes and mental health).
