Dr. Juan Manuel Fernandez

I am a passionate and results-driven nephrologist with over a decade of experience in clinical and interventional nephrology. My academic journey is complemented by two Master’s degrees in Interventional and Diagnostic Nephrology and Hemodialysis, and most recently, a PhD in Medicine (Cum Laude) combining clinical insight with scientific excellence. From 2012 to 2023, I worked at the University Hospital of Gran Canaria Dr. Negrín, where I led numerous initiatives in dialysis, acute kidney injury, kidney biopsies, and medical education. This period was marked not only by high-quality patient care but also by a deep commitment to mentoring medical students and residents, as well as contributing to research and innovation in nephrology. In September 2023, I embraced a new challenge as Medical Manager for Southern Europe at Baxter. In this strategic role, I leverage my clinical background and academic expertise to lead cross-functional medical initiatives, shape evidence-based strategies, and support innovation across the region—bridging science, clinical practice, and medical affairs to improve outcomes in renal care.
