Powered by CUHK in collaboration with ETH Zürich, Imperial College London, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Hong Kong, the Multi-Scale Medical Robotics Center (MRC) is positioned to enable translational research on and productisation of novel surgical robotic technologies.
The Hybrid Operating Room of the MRC Lab is a one-of-its-kind facility in Asia that is fully dedicated to R&D and preclinical evaluations of surgical robotic innovations via live animal and cadaveric studies. MRC serves as a synergistic platform for clinicians, engineers, and researchers from top-rank universities to contribute their efforts through transdisciplinary collaborations, ultimately benefiting patients and communities worldwide.
