Buenos Aires

Summary

Physician with a medical degree from Universidad Austral and currently a third-year neurosurgery resident at Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires in Argentina. I have a robust background in anatomy and surgical neuroanatomy, supported by years of academic teaching and cadaveric dissection. My clinical experience across neurosurgical subspecialties, combined with my commitment to anatomical precision and spatial understanding, make me especially well-suited for neuroanatomy and neurosurgical projects. I value interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation, and strive to translate anatomical expertise into tools that improve surgical planning and patient care.
