Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering
Interventional processes, devices, and systems are complex. The conception, development, realization, and evaluation of novel solutions require a tight interaction between several engineering disciplines and computer science, and clinicians. This necessitates environments in which engineering teams, computer scientists, and practitioners can interact and exchange ideas on a daily basis. Vanderbilt University’s strong history of and commitment to interdisciplinary work and the close proximity of its Medical and Engineering Schools makes it the ideal campus for advancing the state of the art in this field.
VISE Seminar Series
The VISE Seminar Series has a dual role in the School of Engineering as a major gathering activity for the Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering (VISE) and as a training component to the NIH-sponsored Surgical and Interventional Engineering Training Program (T32EB021937).
Research
The Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering (VISE) is an interdisciplinary, trans-institutional entity designed to facilitate these interactions and exchanges. Its mission is the creation, development, implementation, clinical evaluation and commercialization of methods, devices, algorithms, and systems designed to facilitate interventional processes and their outcome. Its goal is to become the premier center for the training of the next generation of surgeons, engineers, and computer scientists capable of working synergistically on new solutions to complex interventional problems, ultimately resulting in improved patient care.
