Dr. Mikel Sánchez has once again been included in the Ranking of the World Scientists, World’s Top 2% Scientists, compiled by Stanford University, which identifies researchers with the highest global impact in their respective fields.

This international recognition highlights the scientific excellence and high-impact output of the R&D research team at Hospital MiKS, which has surpassed 10,000 international scientific citations, consolidating its position as a reference in traumatology and biomedical innovation.

This achievement takes place within a robust and highly competitive Basque research ecosystem, characterized by the active participation of numerous strategic actors and reference centers. The sustained effort of these stakeholders has contributed to Euskadi reaching exceptionally high research indices, placing the region among the top worldwide in scientific output and impact. Recognizing their contribution highlights the density, maturity, and collaborative capacity of the scientific system in which this activity takes place.

In this context, collaboration among healthcare institutions, universities, and research centers plays a key role in facilitating the effective translation of scientific results into clinical practice. Such interactions help shorten the time between discovery and real-world application, boost translational research, and generate a direct impact on improving treatments, diagnostics, and health outcomes.

This ranking provides objective evidence that sustained investment in research and supportive science policies generate tangible returns in the form of knowledge, innovation, and clinical advances with a real impact on medical practice.

At Hospital MiKS and within the MiKS medical-scientific community, we extend our gratitude to the research team, as well as to the institutions and collaborators who drive this scientific activity. This recognition also reflects their commitment, excellence, and shared vision.
