I nostri centri di ricerca
Head & Neck surgery and Forensic Dissection Research Center (HNS & FDRC)
A seguito dell’inaugurazione, nel 2012, del nuovo centro di ricerca e dissezione anatomica, realizzato grazie alla collaborazione tra l’Associazione Scientifica “Attingo”, l’Università degli Studi dell’Insubria (Dipartimento di Biotecnologie e Scienze della Vita – DBSV), l’Unità Operativa di Medicina Legale e l’Azienda Ospedaliera ASST-Sette Laghi, la Clinica Otorinolaringoiatrica ha istituito un programma di formazione avanzato rivolto a specialisti e medici in formazione in otorinolaringoiatria, nonché in altre specialità chirurgiche affini, come chirurgia maxillo-facciale, neurochirurgia e chirurgia plastica.
Fin dalla sua fondazione, il centro ha promosso oltre 40 corsi di dissezione anatomica.
Ogni postazione del laboratorio è dotata di strumentazione endoscopica e chirurgica all’avanguardia, accompagnata da sistemi di registrazione video che consentono ai corsisti di archiviare le proprie attività chirurgiche, un supporto fondamentale per la formazione.
Upper and Lower Airways Inflammatory Diseases Research Center (UPLOAD)
Fondato nel 2020, il Centro ha lo scopo di sviluppare ricerche di base e applicate nel campo della patologia infiammatoria delle vie aeree.
L’obbiettivo è favorire l’ottimizzazione dei percorsi di diagnosi e cura, rafforzare la collaborazione tra università e imprese, formare personale medico/paramedico con elevata qualificazione professionale e promuovere l’approfondimento scientifico e culturale e l’alta formazione nel campo delle scienze.
Centro di ricerca per gli adenomi ipofisari e la patologia sellare
Fondato nel 2020, Il Centro ha l’obbiettivo di sviluppare ricerche sia di base che applicate nel campo degli adenomi ipofisari e della patologia sellare. Il Centro si impegna anche a promuovere l’approfondimento scientifico e culturale riguardante le diverse tematiche legate a queste discipline, sostenendo attività di ricerca avanzata e formazione nel campo delle scienze biomediche.
