iKnife, AI, and robotics: How Zoltan Takats is driving innovation in cancer care and research

“Surgery is turning from therapeutic to theranostic more and more… eventually intelligent surgery will be the treatment.”

Join SelectScience® CEO, Kerry Parker, as she speaks to Professor Zoltan Takats, Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London. In this episode, learn about the future possibilities of intelligent surgery, where AI and robotics assist surgeons with precision surgery and real-time decision-making, leading to improved outcomes for patients.  Hear about the development of the iKnife and the challenges for academics in commercialising tools for the clinical lab. Discover the opportunities of moving from therapeutics to theranostics, which technologies will accelerate clinical research and how the future is a team affair. Join the conversation to hear about Takats’ personal mission to change how cancer care is performed.

BIO X6 by CELLINK

"Great, easy to use printer. Have lots of exciting results already."

"We bought this printer in January as part of a new bioprinting and biomaterials suite our platform is establishing. The system is very user-friendly, and the modular heads give it a wide range of functionalities. We have used it for extrusion printing, co-axial printing, and droplet printing, and in the future also plan to use the photo-crosslinking and syringe pump functionalities. The clean chamber option means we can print with cells and keep things sterile without having to put the printer in a biosafety cabinet. The support we have received from the company has been great but could be improved with a dedicated service contract option."

MiSeq Personal Sequencer by Illumina

"Easy to handle, great results!"

"Device is super easy to handle. Helpful technical support. Most protocols for library preperation are aligned to Illumina devices like MiniSeq."
