This recognition is part of the Silver Siurell Awards, presented by the newspaper Última Hora. Year after year, these awards strengthen their prestige by honouring individuals and organisations distinguished by their commitment and contribution to Balearic society.

The Health Research Institute of the Balearic Islands (IdISBa) congratulates researcher Dora Romaguera on being awarded the Silver Siurell, a distinction that recognises her outstanding scientific career and her contribution to biomedical knowledge from the Balearic Islands.

As a principal investigator at both IdISBa and the Biomedical Research Networking Centre (CIBER), she has built an internationally recognised scientific career focused on understanding the relationship between diet, metabolism and health.

Throughout her career, she has led clinical trials and numerous research projects aimed at understanding the effects of the Mediterranean diet on metabolic health and the prevention of chronic diseases. Her work has generated highly relevant scientific evidence in the fields of preventive medicine and the promotion of healthy lifestyles.

This award recognises her research excellence, scientific leadership and ability to translate knowledge into benefits with a direct impact on public health. Her work has helped place the Balearic Islands on the international map of biomedical research and has contributed to strengthening IdISBa as a leading centre for health research.

At IdISBa, we are proud of this well-deserved recognition and extend our warmest congratulations to Dora Romaguera for a career that continues to drive scientific excellence and innovation for the benefit of society.

The 2026 Silver Siurell Awards will be presented on 19 November at Son Termes during a gala considered one of the most important social events in Mallorca's annual calendar. Dora Romaguera's award recognises a career of scientific excellence that has helped position the Balearic Islands as a benchmark in biomedical research and public health.
