Fàtima Crispi is the scientific coordinator of BCNatal-FMRC and coordinator of the Fetal Programming line.
As well has having graduated (2000) in Medicine and Surgery from the Autonomous University of Barcelona and obtained a PhD (2009) in Biomedicine from the University of Barcelona, she holds a specialty in Gynecology/Obstetrics (2005) and a postgraduate degree (2010) in Research Methodology, both from the Autonomous University of Barcelona. During 2007–2010 she gained a subspecialty in fetal cardiology including two rotations in high-profile centers abroad (Harris Birthright Center for Fetal Medicine and St George's Hospital, London). She is currently a senior specialist physician in BCNatal’s Fetal Cardiology Unit.
She is a researcher accredited by IDIBAPS, associate professor at the University of Barcelona and a member attached to the Center for Networked Biomedical Research in Rare Diseases (CIBERER).
