On 26 February, the students of the Master's Degree in Biomedical Technologies at Mondragon Goi Eskola Politeknikoa had the opportunity to attend a talk given by Asier Erramuzpe Aliaga, a researcher in the Computational Neuroimaging group at Biobizkaia.

Currently, Erramuzpe is developing his research career with the support of the Ikerbasque and Ramón y Cajal grants. During the session, he explained the research work he is carrying out based on different magnetic resonance imaging modalities and their computational analysis.

These techniques allow, among other applications,  to estimate the biological age of people from neuroimaging data, as well as to model and facilitate the early diagnosis of different neurodegenerative diseases. Throughout the talk, the researcher presented the fundamentals of these methodologies and some examples of their application in the field of biomedical research.

The visit is part of the contents of the subjects "Advanced Biomedical Image Processing", "Bioinformatics and Data Analysis" and "Deep Learning", allowing students to learn first-hand about real applications of these technologies in the field of research.

This type of activity also reflects the practical nature of Mondragon University's studies, which are closely connected to the professional environment. Throughout the course, it is common  for professionals from companies and organizations to visit the classrooms to share their experience through talks and workshops, bringing students closer to the reality of the sector and its applications in the professional field.
