Pedro Serrano, a research model facing social rejection of epilepsy

He began his Medicine degree, at the University of Granada, taking an almost natural step, given his father was a town doctor. From Jaen, he recognises that his brother’s neurological illness was fundamental in his inclination towards neurology. Pedro Serrano is an expert in epilepsy, moved by the fact that it is one of the neurological illnesses that is most ignored by society. He has spent more than 20 years committed to researching this illness, aiming to ensure that his patients lead a normal life. He runs the Neurology Unit at the Torrecardenas Hospital in Almeria, and from there he carried out Spain’s first epilepsy sufferer register. Work that, together with others, has earned him the 2015 Epilepsy Award from the Spanish Neurology Society.
