  7. “As a medical center with significant investments in surgical expertise providing an essential core to our clinical, educational, and research efforts, we face an interesting fork in the road of our evolution. We either can be early market consumers or we can strive to become innovators.” --Byers W. Shaw, Jr. M.D. College of Medicine Strategic Planning 1997

  8. Timeline • 1997 - Strategic Plan • 1999 - Steering Committee • 2001 - Dmitry Oleynikov, M.D. Recruited • 2002 • UNMC/UNL VCR Research Retreat • Engineering student recruited • Joint VCR funding - Miniature Robotic Devices

  9. 2004 - 2007 Nebraska Research Initiative New Robotic Tools for Minimal Access Surgery Investigators at UNMC/UNL/UNO 2004 Intuitool™ licensed to Gyrus Federal DOD application for surgical robotic tools approved 2005 - Center for Advanced Surgical Technology Board of Regents Approved Includes investigators from UNMC/UNL/UNO Four surgeons and six engineers involved Advisory Board of Department Chairs and Deans Timeline Continued

  10. Timeline Cont • 2005 • Minimally Invasive Surgery Center • The Nebraska Medical Center • Advances clinical directions • All new students and faculty see surgery • Joint academic position • Surgery and Mechanical Engineering • Carl Nelson, Ph.D. • Research labs at UNMC and UNL • Nebraska Engineering Research Foundation • Mini-robot business planning

  11. Timeline Continued • 2006 • Nebraska Surgical Solutions • Advances commercial direction • UNMC licenses mini-robot technologies • Federal Funding • UNL • NIH, Platt, PI • UNMC • Congressional Directive DOD TATRC • Robotic Telesurgery Research • Oleynikov and Farritor, PI’s • $2.25 million • Additional Applications Pending • NIH: Farritor, PI • NSF: Platt, PI

  12. Keys to Success • Leveraging funding • Philanthropy • Biomedical Tobacco Tax Settlement • Nebraska Research Initiative • Academically Productive Relationships • All disciplines must receive benefit • UN must also receive benefit in return for investments • Keep forging ahead • Share success stories and help others
