Jose Muñoz is a medical doctor specializing in internal medicine and infectious diseases with over 15 years of experience. He serves as Head of the International Health Service at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona and holds dual academic roles: Associate Research Professor at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) and Associate Professor at the University of Barcelona. His teaching focuses on the Master in International Health and the Master in Global Health programs, emphasizing imported tropical diseases and neglected tropical diseases.

Research interests include clinical and epidemiological studies of imported infectious diseases among travelers and migrants, particularly parasitic infections and vector-borne diseases. Key areas are soil-transmitted helminths (e.g., Strongyloidiasis), migration-related health challenges, and diagnostic advancements for tropical diseases. His work integrates molecular epidemiology, biosensor technology, and machine learning to improve diagnostics and public health interventions.

Recent articles highlight innovations in malaria risk prediction (MALrisk tool), drug efficacy for helminths (albendazole-ivermectin co-formulation), and genetic analyses of parasitic resistance. His contributions bridge clinical practice, research, and education in global health.
