Dr. Jara Cárcel has been recognized with a prestigious international fellowship that will take her to the Paris Brain Institute, one of the leading neuroscience research centers in Europe.
Jara is pioneering innovative research in the fight against stroke, one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Her work focuses on developing personalized treatments and has recently led to important scientific advances with potential clinical impact.
Stroke causes over 70,000 cases per year in Spain alone, being the second leading cause of death overall and the first among women. Jara’s research highlights not only the physical but also the cognitive and mental sequelae of stroke, aiming to improve quality of life for thousands of patients.
Jara’s efforts have drawn national attention — her story was recently featured on Canal Sur, where she shared insights into her research and future goals.
