Integrated Spine Research Program
Our mission is to conduct translational and clinical spinal research in the areas of Robotics and Navigation, Biomaterials, Motion Preservation, and Patient Outcome.
We are a multidisciplinary collaborative team of surgeons, physicians, scientists, and students.
The ISRP is leading spine research. Here are some of our highlights in research:
- Participated in 7 Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Spine Clinical Trials
- Focused on new technologies that can restore motion and regain function
- Developing bone grafting materials and device designs to promote bone formation
- Driving the future in robotics and navigation in surgery
