Strategic objectives 

1. Development of protocols for the application of virtual planning techniques in different types of surgery.
2. Development of computer-assisted systems for the verification of surgical results after treatment of tumors, deformities and trauma, especially in the cranio-maxillofacial area.
3. Implementation of 3D printing techniques for models and bio-printing with the aim of improving tissue regeneration and repair techniques, especially at the level of the bone skeleton.
4. Development of algorithms for clinical and radiological image evaluation with artificial intelligence techniques to improve the diagnosis of pathology in the craniofacial region.

Research lines

• Computerized image-based surgical simulation, including virtual reality.
• Automated intraoperative verification of surgical outcome based on digital imaging.
• Personalized craniofacial reconstructive surgery: virtual designs and 3D printing.
• Application of artificial intelligence (AI) in early diagnosis and outcomes in head and neck cancer.
• Innovative techniques for tissue regeneration and repair.
