Celia Alvarez-Romero

Position: Work Package 2 leader

I have a PhD in Molecular Biology, Biomedicine and Clinical Research from the University of Seville. I am a researcher of the Computational Health Informatics Group at the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital, as part of the Andalusian Health Service (SAS) in Spain.

I have over nine years of experience as a researcher in medical informatics projects at regional, national and European levels.

What am I up to during INDICATE?

For the INDICATE project, my colleagues from the SAS team and I are leading Work Package 2 (WP2), which focuses on defining a common data model for INDICATE. Our goal is to ensure alignment with internationally recognized standards and vocabularies. In addition, we are contributing our expertise to coordinate WP2 activities and outcomes with other key areas of the project—specifically, the development of the federated infrastructure in WP4, the ethical and legal requirements for data protection in WP3, and the implementation of use cases defined in WP6.
