Theatre Institute

The University of Pisa is establishing a new university research and training centre, the Theatre Institute, dedicated to advanced technology applied to medicine, with a focus on both research and specialised training.

Located at the Cisanello Hospital, the Theatre Institute will develop standardised protocols for the learning and clinical application of advanced healthcare technologies, designed for implementation at both national and international levels. It will also develop new solutions through the analysis and reuse of healthcare big data, provide a comprehensive panel of internationally recognised experts, issue certifications formally recognised by the scientific community, and promote dissemination events to share research outcomes.

The Centre’s research activities will be conducted using high-technology medical devices and platforms applicable to the following fields: specialised surgery employing advanced technologies, orthopaedics, interventional cardiology and radiology, neurosurgery, interventional endoscopy, and devices that can be integrated with the most advanced digital platforms, including artificial intelligence and big data systems.
