Santiago Ramón y Cajal, winner of the 1906 Nobel Prize in Medicine, pursued his medical studies at the University of Zaragoza and held various positions over the course of several years at what he repeatedly referred to as his “beloved alma mater”.

Cajal was not only the greatest Spanish scientist in history, but also one of the most influential scientists of universal science. His works continue to be cited frequently because he is still alive today in his legacy.
