ARTORG Center for Biomedical Engineering Research

The ARTORG Center creates innovative healthcare technology by bringing together the biomedical engineering and medicine departments of the University of Bern. To address unmet needs of patients, doctors and nurses, technical and clinical experts together lead our multidisciplinary research units.
Close to current challenges in preventive medicine, diagnostics, therapy and disease management, ARTORG contributes to improved clinical care through scientific discovery, deep learning technology, simulation of physiological processes and the development of novel medical devices and applications for surgery and rehabilitation. The Center fosters diversity and creative teamwork and offers study programs for Masters, postgraduates and clinicians at world-class level. We count on a strong network within the Bern medical hub, develop our projects with leading international research institutions, and collaborate with industry to accelerate the translation of our pilot and prototype work to commercial solutions.

ARTORG Christmas party

On Thursday 12th of December was the annual ARTORG Christmas party. The vast majority of researchers (with and without reindeer ears) celebrated, ate, drank, puzzled and danced until late in the Stellwerk at Bern station. This merry Christmas party will definitely go down in the history of the ARTORG.

Future Day 2024

At this year's Future Day, the ARTORG Center opened its doors to inquisitive children aged 11 to 13 who wanted to gain an insight into the fascinating world of science and research.
The Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Lab welcomed five 7th-grade girls who had the opportunity to explore biomechanical research on bones. After an introductory overview of the subject, they delved into the structure of bones and participated in hands-on mechanical testing.
The rehabilitation center also welcomed a group of children to explore the use of modern technology and games within rehabilitation. After discovering and trying some playful therapeutic exercises, they had the opportunity to build their own rehabilitation game from electrical components.
