Ingeniería contra el Parkinson Engineering vs. Parkinson’s Al investigador de la Universidad Nebrija Roberto Álvarez le diagnosticaron Parkinson con apenas 40 años. Ni su profesión de ingeniero ni su carácter luchador se rindieron ante esta circunstancia. La observación, la investigación, en suma, la ciencia, le han llevado a desarrollar junto al neurólogo Juan Pablo Romero, de la Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, un dispositivo que frena el deterioro cognitivo de estos pacientes y que se acaba de patentar. Nebrija University’s researcher Roberto Álvarez was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease when he was barely 40 years old. Neither his profession as an engineer nor his determined nature gave up even when faced with this situation. Observation, research, in short, science, led him to develop -together with neurologist Juan Pablo Romero, from the Francisco de Vitoria University- a device that slows down the cognitive deterioration of these patients, and that was just patented.
