Since its foundation the Centre has produced 136 scientific pubblications and has collaborated with over 30 international universities and hospital.

  5. EXCELLENCE HEALTH CARE ACTIVITIES HEART SURGERY A highly specialized Centre dedicated to the diagnosis and surgical treatment, including transplants, of pathologies of the heart and large vessels in adults and children. It delivers more treatments in all these fields than any other Centre in Italy, and is in the vanguard in research.

INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH The numerous research activities conducted at the University Hospital of Verona include: STEM CELLS RESEARCH LABORATORY and CELL FACTORY The stem cell research laboratory works on the biology and potential clinical applications of stem cells of diverse origins (mesenchymal, hematopoietic, neural, cardiac, epithelial, neoplastic). The Cell Factory, which is closely linked with the laboratory, produces mesenchymal stem cells for clinical use. ARC-NET and INTERNATIONAL CANCER GENOME CONSORTIUM ARC-NET is a centre which concentrates and coordinates the technologies, the experience and the competence found in University Hospital of Verona in order to identify and validate new diagnostic/prognostic markers in oncology. It is the only Italian centre involved in the International Cancer Genome Consortium, a worldwide project aiming to sequence the genomes of different types of cancer. CENTRE FOR EXPERIMENTAL ROBOTIC SURGERY The first Italian centre for experimental robotic surgery is found at the University Hospital of Verona. This recentrly inaugurated centre aims to develop and validate new devices and algorithms for robotic surgery. Numerous European and International projects converge in this laboratory, which intends to promote the transition from research to clinical practice.
