The IBTA is proud to announce the launch of Episode 2 of its new podcast series, “A Brain Tumour and Me – a journey of inspiration, personal stories and hope”. In this series, we’re meeting some of those working in the field of neuro-oncology, the people who support patients and their families and those who’ve been told they have a brain tumour. We’ll learn how brain tumours affected all these people, often in surprising ways.
The second episode of “A Brain Tumour and Me” features American neurosurgeon, author and researcher Dr Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa who talks about his remarkable journey from the humblest of beginnings in Mexicali, Mexico to becoming a renowned neurosurgeon and neuroscientist. Dr Quiñones-Hinojosa is the William J and Charles H Mayo Professor and Chair of Neurologic Surgery and runs a basic science research lab at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. Dr Quiñones-Hinojosa’s research work focuses on brain tumours and cell migration, healthcare disparities and clinical outcomes for neurosurgical patients. In this latest IBTA podcast, Dr Quiñones-Hinojosa reveals the dramatic, life-changing accident he had at age 21 and how his brain tumour patients have inspired his work.
“A Brain Tumour and Me” is available via Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, CastBox, Anchor and the IBTA website at www.theibta.org/podcast.
