## Career

Dr. Arturo Renú Jornet has been a **Senior Specialist in Neurology** at **Hospital Clínic de Barcelona** since 2017, where he completed his MIR Neurology residency (2010-2014). He holds a **PhD in Medicine** from the Universitat de Barcelona with the grade of *summa cum laude* and an **extraordinary award**, with a thesis on *blood-brain barrier injury in acute ischaemic stroke: neuroimaging markers and prognostic significance*, supervised by Professors Ángel Chamorro and Sergio Amaro.

He is an **Associate Professor** at the **Universitat de Barcelona**, teaching on the Medical Degree programme and on Master's courses in Neurosciences and critical care.

## Clinical activity

His clinical activity focuses on **acute ischaemic stroke**, **reperfusion therapies** (intravenous thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy), advanced imaging in cerebrovascular pathology and neurocritical patient management. He collaborates with the BRAIN & SPINE Barcelona team in general neurology, with particular interest in headache (migraine, cluster headache) and botulinum toxin treatment, as well as cerebrovascular pathology.

## Research

He is **principal investigator** of the FIS PI20/00901 project on *glycaemic status assessed with continuous monitoring in acute ischaemic stroke treated with cerebral reperfusion therapies*, and a researcher in competitive projects including the **CHOICE-2** trial (chemical optimisation of cerebral embolectomy, 1.1 M€) and studies on arterial wall injury, cerebral arteriovenous malformations and stroke biomarkers.

He is a member of the **RICORS-ICTUS** (Health Outcomes-Oriented Cooperative Research Networks) network of the Instituto de Salud Carlos III.

## Publications

With an **H-index of 27** (Google Scholar), he has published in high-impact journals on neurovascular pathology and stroke, including work on mechanical thrombectomy, prediction of haemorrhagic transformation and advanced stroke imaging.
