IHU Mix-Surg and Haystack Project

The team is involved in the creation of the IHU Mix-Surg in Strasbourg, a new institute dedicated to minimally invasive therapies, guided by image and simulation. It involves interdisciplinary expertise of medical groups, academic partners and strong industry partnerships. IHU has provided financial support for a project named Haystack (image guided surgery for brachyterapy).

HelpMeSee Project

The team has been involved on a project funded by the non-governmental organization HelpMeSee (http://www.helpmesee.org ).
