Tjota Advanced Procedure Suite

In this custom-designed space, advanced robotic technology will be optimized for training and research, and new devices will be developed for use in the operating room.

Individual labs within the suite support work on a variety of therapeutic and diagnostic testing devices while providing the privacy needed for development of proprietary innovations.

This space supports collaboration between campus colleagues and industry partners focusing on the use of robotics in surgery and data collection. It is where the next generation of health care professionals will train, and where faculty, students and industry partners will collaborate.
