Profile
- Our clinical research commitment is driven by the need to improve and refine neurosurgical operations and perioperative management. Focusing on this area, we examine and test how to translate increasingly frequent emerging new technologies into neurosurgical practice. Another focus is clinical studies and trials to investigate different managements or treatments. In our laboratory of regenerative experimental medicine, we aim at the development and improvement of therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases.
- Teaching profile: lectures and workshops for medical students, medical students' in-house rotations, co-organizers of the lecture series “Disease and Repair at the CNS” for master students of the GCB Bern. Mentoring for PhD students of the GCB and GHS Bern.
