          CATHERINE MOHR





Mohr is a researcher who works on surgical robots and robotic surgical procedures, using robots to make surgery safer and capable of reaching where the human hands and eyes simply can't.

She is currently Director of Medical Research at Intuitive Surgical and is an instructor for the Department of Surgery at Stanford School of Medicine. Her efforts at Intuitive are focused on identifying and developing advanced technologies for future incorporation onto the Da Vinci Surgical System, a robot designed to allow surgeons to perform complex surgeries minimally invasively. Today, the da Vinci is used primarily for gynecological surgery, treatment of prostate cancer and other urologic surgeries, and repair of heart valves.
