Education

Andreu Massot TarrĆŗs earned his Medical Doctorate in August 2003 from the Universitat AutĆ²noma de Barcelona. He went on to complete his Neurology specialization in May 2009 at the Hospital Universitari Vall dā€™Hebron, Barcelona. In June 2013, he was awarded a PhD Cum Laude in Medicine by the same university for his thesis on intracranial atherostenosis, supervised by Dr. Montaner Villalonga and Dr. Ɓlvarez-SabĆ­n. His commitment to epilepsy research led him to a Clinical and Research Fellowship in Epilepsy and EEG at Western University, Ontario, in 2014, followed by a Master in Epilepsy from the Universidad de Murcia in 2018, where he received an excellent qualification.

Ā Work Experience

Dr. Massot TarrĆŗs’s medical career has spanned several prestigious institutions. Starting as a clinical observer in London (2008), he then became a Senior Neurologist in Barcelona and Madrid, working in the Neurovascular Unit at Vall dā€™Hebron (2009-2010) and the Epilepsy Unit at the JimĆ©nez DĆ­az Foundation (2010-2011). Between 2011 and 2021, he took on various senior roles, including at Hospital del Mar and Hospital Universitario Gregorio MaraĆ±Ć³n, Madrid. Since September 2021, he has been a Senior Neurologist and Epileptologist at Hospital Universitari MĆŗtua Terrassa, where he continues to excel in treating neurological disorders, particularly epilepsy.

Ā SkillsĀ 

Dr. Massot TarrĆŗs is highly skilled in Electroencephalography (EEG) and Video-EEG monitoring. He has extensive experience in intraoperative electrocorticography, cortical stimulation mapping, and the Wada test. His expertise in cerebrovascular diseases and ultrasonography diagnostics has made him a leading lecturer at several top hospitals, including Vall dā€™Hebron, Hospital del Mar, and Hospital Gregorio MaraĆ±Ć³n.

Awards & Honors

He holds certifications in Electroencephalography from both the Canadian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology (2015) and the Spanish Society of Neurology (2016). He was also awarded a Cum Laude distinction for his doctoral work and has participated in advanced training like the NIH Stroke Scale Training by the National Stroke Association.

Ā MembershipĀ 

Dr. Massot TarrĆŗs is an active member of the Spanish Society of Neurology and has contributed significantly to clinical neurophysiology through his memberships in various international medical bodies.

Ā Teaching Experience

Dr. Massot TarrĆŗs has shared his knowledge extensively, offering lectures on epilepsy, neurovascular diseases, and ultrasonography techniques. He has taught at institutions like JimĆ©nez DĆ­az Foundation, Hospital del Mar, and Western University, where his work in EEG and cerebrovascular illness has helped shape the careers of future neurologists.

Ā Research Focus

His research primarily focuses on epilepsy and ischemic cerebrovascular diseases. His PhD thesis, which examined markers of recurrence in intracranial atherostenosis, highlights his dedication to improving diagnostics and treatment outcomes in neurology. He continues to contribute to research on epilepsy and cerebrovascular conditions, aiming to reduce the recurrence of ischemic events in patients.
