We are thrilled to congratulate Dr. Juan Ispizua on receiving a prestigious Pew Postdoctoral Fellowship. Dr. Ispizua has been selected as one of only 10 researchers named to the 2025 class of the Pew Latin American Fellows Program in the Biomedical Sciences—a remarkable achievement that recognizes his exceptional potential and dedication to scientific research.

The Pew Latin American Fellows Program in the Biomedical Sciences represents one of the most competitive and respected fellowship opportunities available to emerging scientists. This distinguished program provides crucial support for promising young researchers from Latin America to pursue advanced postdoctoral training at leading institutions in the United States, fostering international collaboration and advancing biomedical research on a global scale.

Under the mentorship of Dr. John Tuthill, Dr. Ispizua is conducting groundbreaking research that explores how the brain responds to injury and why recovery is sometimes accompanied by lingering neuropathic pain or phantom limb syndrome.
