The Regenerative Surgery innovation focus is all about restoring the structure and function of tissue that has been lost due to injury, illness or ageing processes. We want to use innovative treatment strategies to maintain our patients' mobility in the long term and improve their quality of life.
The Innovation Focus Acute Medicine, Heart & Brain aims to further improve the care of patients with acute life-threatening illnesses such as acute myocardial infarction and acute stroke.
Paediatric neurosurgery is a highly specialized field. We treat children with rare diseases of the central nervous system, the skull and the spine. Thanks to specialized, interdisciplinary treatment teams and innovative neuroscientific research, we are able to offer affected children state-of-the-art medicine.
In the ophthalmology innovation focus area, we will convert our surgery to digital microscopy and introduce live imaging of the retina during operations. This will allow us to apply new gene therapies precisely under the retina.
The Innovation Focus Gender Variance is dedicated to one of the most important medical questions of the 21st century: What is gender and why do we sometimes have a problem with it?
Our innovation focus is intended to make a significant contribution to improving the treatment of women's cancers, regionally, nationally and internationally.
Cell therapies are part of the success story of the University Hospital Basel, for example in stem cell transplantation and organ transplantation. We are building on this expertise. In recent years, we have been able to develop novel cell therapies for the fight against cancer and infectious diseases. These treatments are nationally and internationally unique and exemplary for our university hospital.
