Our researchers are solving the medical problems of tomorrow. The collaborative forces of Rowan University and Virtua Health pave the way for novel and entrepreneurial research that has translational applications for current patients in health care settings.
Researcher Dr. Mohammad Abedin-Nasab is developing the first robotic-surgery system designed to align fractured long bones, such as the thigh bone (femur). These bones often don't heal properly due to misalignment, which can cause pain, difficulty walking, and other long-term problems.
