University of Twente professor awarded ERC grant to advance robotic surgery with novel magnetic system
Prof. Dr. Sarthak Misra of the University of Twente has been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept grant titled – RAMSES (Robust Actuation through Magnetism for Safe Endovascular Surgery). It is Prof. Misra’s fourth ERC grant. RAMSES follows from the results of his ERC Starting grant ROBOTAR. Within RAMSES, the researchers from the Surgical Robotics Laboratory (SRL) will develop a system for magnetically-actuated robotic surgery.
Robotic technologies are increasingly more prevalent within the field of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), helping clinicians to treat the patients quickly, precisely, and with minimal complications. Over the years, SRL has developed several robotic technologies targeting an array of procedures within MIS. A prominent research line within SRL

DURHAM – In a first for both the Pentagon and Duke Engineering, Katherine “Katy” Hayes, a PhD student in the Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science (MEMS), will advise staff members for the Joint Chiefs about new research in science and technology during a full-time internship beginning in January.
“I was told I was selected based upon my diverse internship experiences, as well as my diverse experience in classroom settings while at Duke,” said Hayes, who is pursuing both an MS degree in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and her PhD in MEMS.
“They were also interested in me because of the teaching and tutoring opportunities I have had at Duke that show that I can communicate technical topics to an audience with diverse backgrounds,” said Hayes.

VOTIS Subdermal Imaging Technologies, Ltd, an Israeli corporation, and ii Ventures Private Limited (iiV), an Indian company, announced that they have entered into a memorandum of understanding to develop a system to screen the largely rural Indian population for peripheral artery disease (PAD).
The devices, which allow for the early detection of the disease before tangible symptoms appear, will utilise the same technology that VOTIS is building into other devices intended for use in the US and Europe.
