María Morales is a university professor at the University of Valencia (Spain) and doctor in Preventive Medicine and Public Health. She studied at the University of Córdoba (S.

I obtained my master in Public Health at the University of Valencia (1992). I am specialised in Preventive Medicine and Public Health at the University Dr. Peset Hospital (Valencia, 1994). I have managed the unit of Clinical and Epidemiological Research as an epidemiologist from 1994-2006 at this hospital, which has become a Foundation (presently undergoing changes). Furthermore, Dr. Morales is a member of the Royal Academy of Medicine (Valencia), a referee for various journals, and she collaborates with the Spanish Ministry of Health.
