A surgeon, PhD, educator and associate professor at Kobe University and University of Tokyo, Dr. Sugimoto has been instrumental in numerous medical technology development efforts including open-source medical imaging software OsiriX, surgical navigation system, minimally invasive endoscopic surgery, surgical robot, and bio-texture modeling technology using 3D printer and various resin materials that can reproduce bio-texture accurately.
