Dr. Idoya Zazpe is an eminent figure in the field of Neurosurgery. In addition to having an academic curriculum of the highest level, which highlights her doctoral thesis based on the genetics of brain tumors, she has made numerous clinical stays in internationally renowned centers such as the Lariboisière Hospital in Paris, the Hospital de la Beneficencia Portuguesa in Sao Paulo and the Bellaria Hospital in Bologna.
