| BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANIZATION |
| |
MicroTech S.r.l. (Italy) is a private limited liability company - SME, established in the year 2000. MT is in the network of companies generated by the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (Pisa, Italy) active in the biomedical field, involved in the development and production of innovative devices for minimally invasive surgery, especially for laparoscopy.
|
|
| |
The mission of MicroTech S.r.l. is to exploit, in industrial-oriented applications, the main and more promising results of high level research activities in the biomedical field. |
| |
|
| |
| MAIN TASKS WITHIN THE PROJECT |
MT is first involved in WP4 for the development of the insertion port of the platform and in WP11 for the exploitation of derivative devices. |
| |
|
| |
| PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE |
MicroTech S.r.l. is a partner of P.Cezanne Integrated Project (FP6-IST-031867), dedicated at the development of an implantable sensor for glucose monitoring for diabetic people. The specific task where MT is involved is the definition a transmission device based on Zigbee technology able to receive the information from the sensor and send the data to an external transmission system. MT developed in the past some single-use and highly innovative device for laparoscopy: recently MT receive the CE labeling for one of these. |

Bernardo Magnani received the Laurea Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pisa in 1995 with a thesis titled "Experimental and theoretical study of a micropump for drug delivery system", with the supervision of Prof. Paolo Dario, Prof. Marino Marini and Dr. Maria Chiara Carrozza. In 1991 he joined the MiTech Lab of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa. He was Project Manager of the BIOMED2/MIAS project, coordinated by MiTech Lab and aimed at the development of an integrated system for Computer Assisted Surgery for Minimally Invasive Arthroscopy. In 1999 he obtained the Ph.D. in Microsystems Engineering. From 1999 to 2000 he was the project manager of the EU project “Medical Micro-Instrument Competence Centre” in the framework of Europractice. In 2000 he became General Manager of MT. His research interests are in the fields of micromechatronic technologies, microfluidic components and systems for medical applications, micromechatronic instruments for minimally invasive surgery and therapy. |
