Our specialists have already performed two cholecystectomies (gallbladder removals) on children using the Versius robotic system. “We are embarking on a new phase in developing expertise in one of the fastest-growing fields of modern surgery,” said Dr. Patrycja Sosnowska-Sienkiewicz, Head of the Department of Pediatric Surgery UCK WUM during a meeting marking the introduction of the new technology at the Medical University of Warsaw.

The Minister of Science and Higher Education has announced the results of the call for proposals for the Polish Research Infrastructure Roadmap. Of the 192 projects submitted, 104 strategic research infrastructures were included in the Roadmap. These infrastructures will constitute key elements of the national research system and provide a foundation for further development of cooperation with European research infrastructures. The Medical University of Warsaw (WUM) achieved a significant success in this call. Our university is the leader of three projects which were included in the Polish Research Infrastructure Roadmap – CARTERNA, CePT-ICBS and POLTOX – and is also a partner in further projects of strategic importance for the development of biomedical and medical sciences in Poland.
