Carlos Cabal Mirabal, an accomplished talent

Abstract

This research analyzes the life and scientific work of Dr. Carlos Cabal Mirabal, a distinguished researcher from the University of Oriente. A descriptive–explanatory methodology with chronological and qualitative focus was applied, supported by analysis–synthesis, historical–logical methods, and documentary review, which allowed for a comprehensive view of his trajectory. Born at the Guantánamo Naval Base, he grew up in Santiago de Cuba, where he joined the clandestine struggle against Batista, and graduated in Physical Engineering at the University of Oriente. His talent led him to earn a PhD in Physical-Mathematical Sciences in the former USSR. He served as department head, Dean, and later founded the Center for Medical Biophysics, achieving innovations such as the Magnetic Resonance Tomograph, the Angiodin PD-3000, and the Imagis system. His contributions, extended to Venezuela and the CIGB, demonstrate that Cuban science can generate solutions with global impact.
