Dr. David Moreno-Ramirez, MD, Ph.D. is a Professor of Dermatology at the University of Sevilla. He is also a present Chair of the Medical-Surgical Dermatology and Venereology Unit at the Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena (Seville-Spain). 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.
