Currículum vitae

Current position: In 2009 I joined the staff of the Neurosurgery Department in Hospital Universitario Marqués de Valdecilla (HUMV) in Santander (Spain). My current academic appointments include serving as a professor of Neurosurgery at the Cantabria University (Spain), and Speech Therapist School Gimbernat Cantabria. I got a Master's degree in Research Methodology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona for 4 years (2009-2013), and he got a University Expert in Management of Health Services by the UC (2011/2012). My Neurosurgery Department: The neurosurgery department at HUMV was founded in 1970, and is one of the top neuroscience centres in Spain, with 40 dedicated patient neurosurgical beds, two neurosurgical operating rooms, and one neurosurgery-dedicated endovascular suite. The department handles more than 3,000 admissions and around 1,000 neurosurgery procedures annually. HUMV has a well stablished neurosurgical training program, accepting one resident per year, for a total of five neurosurgical residents, and one spine fellowship. The teaching faculty consists of more than 30 physicians, including neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuroanesthesiologists, neuropsychologists, neuroradiologists, and neuropathologists. There are six main lines of research: brain mapping, white matter anatomy, neuro-oncology, hydrocephalus, spine, and endoscopy. Clinical and research focus: My personal clinical focus is neuro-oncology, and brain mapping for resection of tumours within eloquent areas. We had published several manuscripts in high impact journals describing our series of patients operated with intraoperative electrical stimulation mapping. In 2009, I gained a Wenceslao López Albo grant at the Fundación Instituto de Investigación Marqués de Valdecilla (IDIVAL), consisting in a 2 years and a half fellowship. The fellowship was focused in neurooncology and tumor surgery in brain eloquent areas, and took place at three Hospitals: New York University Hospital (USA), Hospital the University of California at San Francisco (USA) and University Hospital of Montpellier (France). Working with professor Duffau in Montpellier I studied in detail the subcortical anatomy working in the anatomy laboratory. Then I developed my own technique of fiber dissection of the brain, i.e., cortex sparing fiber dissection. With classic fiber dissection (Klingler's dissection), the demonstration of one fiber system results in the destruction of other fiber systems. The removal of overlying brain structures also prohibits correlation of white matter tracts with the cortex. With cortex sparing fiber dissection, the overlying brain structures are preserved along all the dissection steps to analyse the relationships between the superficial and deeper tracts and between the tracts and the cortex. With this technique is also possible to follow the terminations of the tracts until they connect to the cortex. I published numerous publications, and described the anatomy of important connections and areas of fiber intersection such as the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, the temporal stem, the temporo-parietal fiber intersection area, and the frontral precentral fiber intersection area. In 2011, I presented my doctoral thesis on the study of brain connectivity, receiving the thesis award from the University of Cantabria. Distinctions and awards: I'm the coordinator of the Neuroanatomy group of the Spanish Neurosurgery Society (SENEC), member of the Young Neurosurgeons Forum of the World Federation of Neurosurgery Society, and European Network for treatment of low-grade gliomas. I frequently serve as a peer reviewer of manuscripts for several international journals. I'm evaluator of European Projects for the European Commission call 'Personalised Medicine' (program Call H2020-sc1-2016-2017 of the 'health, demographic change and wellbeing' challenge under Horizon 2020). I received three times the award for young neurosurgeon at the World Congress of Neurosurgery in 2009 in Boston (USA), in 2013 in Seoul (Korea), and in 2015 in Rome (Italy). This last award was from a study co-authored with Francesco Vergani, MD, PhD, neurosurgeon at the King's College Hospital in London. I also received five times the award to the best presentation at the Spanish Neurosurgery Society (SENEC) and Spanish Neurology Society (SEN). Publications: I have more than 60 articles published in peer-reviewed academic medical journals, with more than 1200 bibliographic citations. The most cited article was published in 2010 and describes the anatomy of the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus. It has been cited more than 250 times. Seven competitive research projects (2 as principal investigator). Nine books chapters. 54 presentations in congresses, 16 of which are international congresses. 52 lectures as guest speaker, of which 19 in international conferences.
