CV of Victoriano Giralt, M.D.
I keep two versions of these pages, English and Spanish (Español), but the former (this one) is usually more up to date due to my international activities.1
The Panoratux logo is a tribute to my involvement with Open Source (since the late nineteen eighties) and Linux (since the early nineteen nineties) and, of course, my medical background.

As I started to build this site for keeping my CV, I discovered that most of my history was scattered in files on my computers, so it is not at all finished, even the historical part. (1)
