Since 1998, Dr Gil-Nagel directs the Epilepsy Centre of Hospital Ruber Internacional where he has established a comprehensive Epilepsy Program. In this center more than 150 neurologists from Spain and other countries have been trained in epilepsy. Following this, several trainees have developed successful epilepsy centers in other hospitals both in Spain and abroad. Dr. Gil-Nagel is a frequent lecturer in international meetings. His research focuses on clinical manifestations of seizures, epilepsy surgery, and pharmacological therapy, areas in which he has published several articles in journals such as Annals of Neurology, Brain, Neurology, Epilepsia, Journal of Neurology, and European Journal of Neurology, among others. In addition, he is the author of several books on epilepsy and electroencephalography. He has dedicated time to the dissemination of knowledge on brain function and human behavior, areas into which he gained insight after years of analysis of punctual clinical manifestations during epileptic seizures.
