Our Director of the CIEN Tissue Bank (BT-CIEN), Alberto Rábano Gutiérrez, has been honored by the Spanish Society of Neurology (SEN) with the SEN Award for the History of Neurology during its Institutional Ceremony.
The SEN Awards represent the recognition of the Spanish Society of Neurology and Spanish neurologists of individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the scientific development of Neurology.
Dr. Rábano received the award “for his contribution to the dissemination of the History of Neurology through the publication of the articles Science and Philosophy of Memory in the 21st Century: A Hermeneutic Approach, Background: Scientific and Philosophical Controversies at the Beginning of the 20th Century, and Three Founders: Freud, Wittgenstein and Heidegger, published in the journal Neurosciences and History,” as stated by the President of SEN, Dr. Jesús Porta-Etessam, during the award ceremony.
Neurologists Teresa Gómez Isla and Jaime Masjuan Vallejo were also honored by the Spanish Society of Neurology (SEN) with the SEN Award for Neurological Diseases and the SEN Stroke Award, respectively.
SEN has recognized neuroscientist Alberto Rábano’s commitment to research, biomedical ethics, and the promotion of brain tissue donation. His dedication has been acknowledged by numerous scientific and social institutions. Among other distinctions, he received the Spanish Society of Neurology Award in 2017 for his contribution to advancing Alzheimer’s disease research and promoting brain tissue donation.
Currently, his research focuses on medial temporal lobe pathology, mixed neurodegenerative diseases, the correlation between neuropathology and genetics, and the development of biospecimen science applied to neurological tissue biobanks. Since 2014, he has served as Principal Investigator of the VARS cohort (Vallecas Alzheimer Reina Sofía Study), one of Spain’s leading projects in Alzheimer’s disease research. He is the author or co-author of 195 original scientific articles and seven book chapters.
