The ATLAS Program

Established in 2007, the Applied Technology Laboratory for Advanced Surgery Program at Roswell Park Cancer Institute began as a safety and quality assurance initiative and has grown into a global training center for Robot-assisted surgery. Our dedicated staff has helped many novice surgical teams establish safe robot-assisted surgical programs at their institutions across the globe. Our research program has designed and piloted several ground-breaking inventions which include on of the first robotic simulators and initiatives in artificial intelligence, patient safety and operating room communications.
