Ignacio Delgado currently holds a position as Serra-Hunter Lecturer in the Anatomy Unit at the UAB. He has a solid background in neuroscience and neurosurgery. He obtained his PhD in Neuroscience at the Max Planck Institute in Göttingen, Germany, under the supervision of Nobel laureate Erwin Neher. After that, he completed his residency in neurosurgery at the Charité Hospital in Berlin. He subsequently worked as a researcher at the Singapore Institute of Neurotechnology, participating in the development of neural prostheses. In Barcelona, he led the "SYLVIUS" project at the Hospital del Mar for the development of deep electrode planning tools in epilepsy. Later, he joined "Galgo Medical" with a grant from the Torres-Quevedo Program until the software was commercialized. He has collaborated in neural prosthesis research with the UAB neurophysiology group as well as neurosurgical therapies focused on epilepsy, accumulating almost 50 publications. His work ranges from bidirectional nerve-prosthesis communication to smart tools for epilepsy surgery, and he holds patents on nerve interfaces and surgical algorithms.
