Prof. Philippe Claude Cattin received his B.Sc. degree from the University of Applied Science in Brugg/Windisch in 1991. In 1995 he received the M.Sc. degree in computer science and in 2003 the Ph.D. degree in robotics from ETH Zurich, Switzerland. From 2003 to 2007 he was a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Computer Vision Laboratory at ETH Zurich. In 2007 he became an Assistant Professor at the University of Basel and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2015 and then to full professor in 2019. In 2017, he was a research fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, USA. He is the founder of the Center for medical Image Analysis and Navigation (CIAN) at the Medical Faculty of the University of Basel. Since 2014 eh is heading the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Basel. Prof. Cattin’s research interests include medical image analysis, image-guided therapy, robotics-guided laser osteotomy, and virtual reality. As a principal investigator, he has completed many projects in these areas and has published over 250 papers, patents and book chapters. He is also the founder of three spin-off companies and has licensed his patents and software to medical device companies.

Prof. Dr. Marios Nikos Psychogios is the Head of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, at the Clinic of Radiology & Nuclear Medicine, University Hospital Basel. He completed his Dr. Med. and his Habilitation in Radiology at the Faculty of Medicine, Georg-August-University Goettingen, Germany in 2013 and 2019, respectively. His area of research is acute ischemic stroke, in particular, the interventional treatment of medium vessel occlusions and workflow approaches to optimize patient outcomes; and Hemorrhagic stroke, new interventional approaches for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations.

Prof. Dr. Raphael Guzman is Professor of Neurosurgery and Vice Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at the University Hospital Basel and the University Children’s Hospital of Basel (UKBB). His clinical expertise is in Cerebrovascular and Pediatric Neurosurgery. Prof. Guzman’s research group examines the clinical relevance of neural stem/progenitor cells (NPC) in brain ischemia particularly in neonatal hypoxic-ischemia (HI) with regard to white matter regeneration. He is also deeply involved in advancing novel technologies such as virtual and augmented reality and minimally invasive endoscopy to advance neurosurgical teaching and operative techniques in collaboration with the Department of Bioengineering. His research is funded through the Swiss National Science Foundation and several grants from private foundations as well as industry collaborations.
