Seibel wins Whitaker Foundation grant to study new endoscope
Making minimally invasive surgery even less invasive is the goal of a grant awarded by the Whitaker Foundation to Eric Seibel, research scientist with the UW’s Human Interface Technology Lab. The three-year, $209,815 award was one of 17 biomedical engineering research grants announced recently by the foundation.
The grant will fund a project to investigate the engineering requirements for an ultrathin, high-resolution surgical endoscope. The new tool should expand the capabilities of minimally invasive surgical techniques while decreasing error rates, reducing tissue trauma and lowering health care costs.
Created in 1975, the Whitaker Foundation is a private non-profit organization dedicated to supporting engineering research and development to improve medical care. ¶
