We were happy to be part of the founding ceremony of the TUM School of Medicine and Health. After inspiring keynotes by TUM president Prof. Dr. Thomas F. Hofmann, MRI Medical Director Dr Martin Siess and School Dean Prof. Stephanie E. Combs, a "Science Slam" of cutting-edge medical research work at TUM took place. Prof. Dr. med. Dirk Wilhelm and Lukas Bernhard presented the idea of combining engineering and medical competences to realize application-focused medical research projects such as the AURORA service robot for the operating room.
