Biography
Prof. Daniel Navajas Daniel Navajas is Professor of Physiology (from 1989) at the Unit of Biophysics and Bioengineering of the School of Medicine of the University of Barcelona (UB) and Group Leader (from 2007) at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC). He is also Director of Studies (from 2010) for the Degree on Biomedical Engineering at UB. His research interest is the study of the mechanical behavior of the respiratory system with a multiscale approach, ranging from cellular nanomechanics to pulmonary pathophysiology with the goal of improving the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases. He has published more than 160 papers that received over 9500 citations.
