Science & Innovation

Swiss Medical Network has consolidated its research activity by creating Science & Innovation.

The activities of this new scientific platform are divided into four main areas:

The development of clinical and translational research programmes;
The promotion of conventions with the academic world and Swiss and international research institutions;
The strengthening of fundraising policies;
The scaling up of continuous training and exchanges in the field of education

Research programmes

Science & Innovation has decided to focus on several key areas: orthopaedics, oncology and ophthalmology to name a few.

Orthopaedics

Professor Guido Garavaglia, Head of Teaching and Research at Clinica Ars Medica, Gravesano, and Professor at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva, developed an IT platform for the implementation of systematic PROM (Patient-Reported Outcome Measures) data collection for all types of clinical activities.

Oncology

Dr Matti Aapro (Clinique de Genolier) published a large number of peer-reviewed articles in various domains of medical oncology. His numerous research programs in geriatric oncology, breast cancer management and supportive care bear witness to his experience in clinical research protocols and educational activities

Ophthalmology

“With over 95 scientific publications since 2018, the Swiss Visio Montchoisi Glaucoma Research Centre has quickly become one of the most active centres in Switzerland (and one of the three most active centres in Europe) in this field.” Prof. K. Mansouri
