Activities

The Center for Clinical and Surgical Experimental and Molecular Anatomy is a departmental articulation of the Department of Biomedical and NeuroMotor Sciences - DIBINEM (in italian: Dipartimento di Scienze Biomediche e NeuroMotorie). This integrated center aims to exploit the potential that is already present, including through a major implementation of infrastructure, so that there will be important spin-offs throughout the health care field through the significant reduction of patient risk thanks to the improvement of the level of competence of professionals and increased competitiveness by ultimate integration between technical and experimental skills and between biomedical and clinical-surgical disciplines.

The development of a design, within it, that will also enable it to meet the demand coming from professionals of the different specialist branches aims, on one hand, at the consolidation of activities already in progress, and, on the other, at the standardization of activities and the provision of services to date not present in an integrated manner in any facility at the international level.

Activities carried out within the Center:

  • Anatomical dissections of different body regions
  • Educational activities for students in the School of Medicine and Surgery courses and for physicians in specialty training
  • Advanced courses in Surgical Anatomy for physicians specializing in different branches of surgery
  • Research in the anatomical-surgical field: morphological study of clinical relevance and innovative technology-driven projects (augmented reality, minimally invasive approaches, 3D printer prosthetics, robotics...)
  • Study of physiologic and pathologic signal transduction mechanisms in the hematologic, cardiovascular, and neuroscientific spectrum, conducted with a topographic morpho-functional approach through the use of in vitro and ex vivo cell and tissue material from patient and/or donor enrolled in the Body Donation Program
