Toggle mobile menu Home / MISIIE MISIIE The McMaster Institute for Surgical Invention, Innovation and Education (MISIIE) was established in 2005 as a McMaster University Institute to enhance collaboration among researchers and investigators from Faculties of Health Sciences, Engineering, Sciences, and the Business School. The primary goal of MISIIE is to capitalize on the success and international recognition of McMaster investigators from the Center for Minimal Access Surgery (CMAS) in the field of Minimally Invasive, Robotic and Telerobotic Surgery. In 2009 MISIIE was granted $15 million by the Ministry Innovation CECR program to establish a not-for-profit incubator, the Center for Surgical Invention and Innovation (CSii), to support the research and development of IP generated by MISIIE researchers in the field of medical robotics and related technologies. In 2017 CSii established its first spin off company Insight Medbotics Canada Corporation (IMCC). The Goal of IMCC is to take the novel automated medical robotic systems developed by CSii to market. IMCC is currently completing the regulatory requirements for FDA and health Canada licensing of Image Guided Automated Robot (IGAR) for early detection and treatment of breast cancer. MISIIE is currently working to develop an autonomous image guided intelligent robot for detection and treatment of early breast and prostate cancers. Over the last 5 years MISIIE has strengthened it relationship with key industry and academic partners in particular with MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates (MDA; builders of Canadarm), IBM Canada (through our work on AI technology), Johnson and Johnson Canada, Stryker, GE, Robarts Research Institute and Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Centre. MISIIE was also a significant partner in establishing the McMaster ICES hub and is currently one of the major collaborators with ICES and is conducting multiple research studies by linking the Ontario Bariatric Registry to the ICES database. We currently support and collaborate with 95 research projects from academic staff at McMaster, Toronto, Queens, and Ottawa Universities. In addition, the investigators at CMAS have continued to expand on research studies to evaluate and promote new innovative minimally invasive approaches as well as evaluate the role of bariatric surgery in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and other comorbidities associated with obesity. Research and educational programs are supported by MISIIE through its various centres including: CMAS, CSii and CORA (Centre for Radiology Anatomy).
