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.
