Industry Affiliates Program

Program Overview

The 91吃瓜网 Institute for Surgery and Engineering strives to foster a diverse interdisciplinary community poised to address the most pressing challenges in procedural medicine.听To further this goal, VISE has established an听Industry Affiliates Program (IAP)听to听expand our community and build vital听collaborative听partnerships with MedTech and related industries.听As the听fields听of听surgery听and听intervention听transform,听modern听challenges require more innovative,听interconnected, interdisciplinary听solutions听that incorporate听clinical, engineering, and industry听expertise.听At VISE, researchers听develop听the听technical and interpersonal听skills to implement听these听efficient, cost-effective,听data-enabled听solutions tailored听to patient-specific treatment, as well as the听ability to work across disciplines to see听these听projects听to听the finish line.听

The IAP invites industry partners to join the VISE community听in developing these paradigm-shifting solutions听today and training the surgical and interventional engineers of tomorrow.听Funds听from听IAP听partnership听will support students, faculty, and laboratory infrastructure through specialized equipment, pilot funding for projects, and听immersive听educational听experiences.听As听part of the IAP, partners听gain access to听state-of-the-art听research updates, opportunities to shape educational programming,听and听networking with affiliates and graduates听through mentoring events and partner technology showcases.听
