Phd Position SpineBot
Join us for the project "In SEA2 SpineBot for Safe Intraoperative Intervertebral Stiffness Assessment".
Keywords: Medical Robotics
Surgical Robotics
Scoliosis Research
The project "In SEA2 SpineBot" aims to develop a spinal robotic impedance measurement system for
adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. The intra-operative device enables in vivo biomechanical
analysis of the spine, potentially revolutionizing AIS treatment in the future. The project is a collaboration
between the BIROMED-Lab at the University of Basel, the Paediatric Orthopaedic Spine Team of the
University Children’s Hospital | UKBB, and the Computational Bioengineering Group at the University of
Bern.
