Laura Mangado Aloy

As a neuropsychologist, I have spent the last years of my professional career dedicated to neuro-oncology. I am currently part of the Neurology Department and the Neuro-Rehabilitation Unit of Children's Oncology at the SJD Barcelona Children’s Hospital. My role in this unit focuses on the performance of cognitive evaluations before and after cancer treatments, as well as on the neuropsychological rehabilitation of the detected sequelae.

I define myself as a hard-working and motivated woman, with a desire to improve day by day. Dedicated and persistent in achieving a better quality of life for our patients and their families.
