Seven Questions with... Jose Leon-Rojas

This week we meet UCL alumnus Jose Leon-Rojas, who is now working as an Associate Professor in Neuroanatomy in Ecuador. Here, Jose chats to us about his experience at UCL - including working as a research assistant in a Neurosurgery lab and discovering London's best pizza. What are you studying, why are you interested in this subject and what do you plan to do in the future?. I studied an MSc in Advanced Neuroimaging at UCL's Queen Square Institute of Neurology. To say that the human brain interests me would be an understatement! Funnily enough, my worst subjects during my medical school years were neuroscience and neurophysiology. I guess that pushed me to learn more about it and the more I learnt, the more I felt in love with the nervous system and its anatomy, which is why doing an MSc on Brain Imaging at one of the world's most renowned places for Neurology and Neurosurgery (Queen Square and the NHNN) was a very obvious choice! The only rival to my passion for studying the brain is my love of teaching. I'm working as an Associate Professor in Neuroanatomy at La Universidad Internacional del Ecuador (UIDE)'s Medical School and enjoy every minute of it.
