Juan Rodés PhD Student Fellowship

Who was Juan Rodés (1938–2017)? 
Dr Juan Rodés is known as the architect of the Liver Unit of the Hospital Clinic of the University of Barcelona, an internationally renowned centre for research in liver disease. He was one of the most inspiring and influential leaders in clinical hepatology and changed modern medical practice in Spain.

A great leader and thinker, Dr Rodés paved the way for bright young minds to come. Will you follow in his footsteps?
