SUMMARY:The Farcas Lab: Where Urology Meets Engineering
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:[Farcas] \n\nJOIN US FOR AN EXCITING PRESENTATION THAT WILL INT
 RODUCE YOU TO\nUROLOGY AND IGNITE YOUR PASSION FOR INNOVATION IN HEALTHCAR
 E! \n\nDr. Monica Farcas is a Urologic Surgeon-Investigator and Entrepren
 eur\nat St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto\, who has also trained as an\n
 engineer. Dr. Farcas’ expertise in urology allows her to observe and\nid
 entify problems in clinical practice\, while her engineering\nbackground h
 elps ideate solutions to those problems. She is able to\nseamlessly blend 
 and explore the two worlds in her lab\, the Farcas\nLab.\n\nIn The Farcas
  Lab: Where Urology Meets Engineering\, Dr. Farcas will\nintroduce student
 s to the field of urology and explain some of the\nanatomical and clinical
  constraints and challenges faced in this\nspecialized field. She will the
 n explain existing surgical devices\,\ntheir uses\, and how they have been
  shaped by these constraints.\nFinally\, Dr. Farcas will highlight some of
  the projects that her lab\nis currently working on\, the problems they ai
 m to solve\, and the\ncreativity behind them.\n\nFrom understanding urolog
 y to designing cutting-edge medical devices\,\nthis talk will inspire you 
 to think beyond rigid boundaries and apply\nengineering principles to heal
 thcare.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nDr. Monica Farcas is an Assistant Professo
 r and Surgeon-Investigator\nin the Department of Surgery\, Division of Uro
 logy\, at the University\nof Toronto. She is a surgeon at St. Michael’s 
 Hospital\nsubspecializing in the areas of laparoscopic and robotic surgery
 \,\nendourology\, and renal transplantation. Dr. Farcas received her\nMast
 er’s Degree in Engineering at McGill University and obtained her\nMD and
  residency training in Urology at the University of Toronto. She\nthen com
 pleted a two year Endourological Society clinical fellowship\nat St. Micha
 el’s Hospital. Her research interests are in surgical\ninnovation and su
 rgical device development as well as surgical\nsimulation.
