He is located at the University Hospital Basel and University of Basel, Switzerland. FMT is currently senior surgeon and Ass. Professor for OCMF Surgery at the University Hospital Basel. He is the Head of the Medical Additive Manufacturing Research Group (Swiss MAM) at the University of Basel’s Department of Biomedical Engineering. He is an internationally recognized expert for computer assisted surgery and medical additive manufacturing, extensively exploring and promoting the integration of virtual surgical planning, 3D printing and other innovative (regenerative) technologies at the point-of-care. Since 2016 he is Co-Director of the multidisciplinary 3D Print Lab at the University Hospital Basel. Since 2020 he is Co-Principal Investigator of the MIRACLE 2 project (Minimally Invasive Robot-Assisted Computer-guided LaserosteotomE). The aim of this major research project, generously funded by the Werner Siemens Foundation, is to develop a robotic endoscope for non-contact bone surgery using laser light. Precisely fitting patient-specific implants will be designed in AR/VR and manufactured by intra- and extracorporeal 3D printing.
