Research & Development
Skylab is committed to researching the latest technologies for surgeons, as part of a European ecosystem that is a benchmark in the sector, in order to develop tomorrow’s solutions and protocols.
Skylab is the winner of a Future Investment Program(PIA 4 filières) as part of the France 2030 recovery plan.
This program supports :
- The development of protocols to produce reproducible fractures of all types according to the AO classification, using a machine developed in collaboration withHEPIA (Geneva University of AppliedSciences ) and the biomechanics and anatomy laboratory at the University of Geneva.
- The development of deliberate practice to optimize knowledge transmission and reduce learning curve times.
This project transposes what is done in the world of sport to the world of surgery.
Each group of learners is filmed, then their mistakes are analyzed and commented on, so that all participants can learn from each other’s mistakes.
A second phase of the project will use artificial intelligence to analyze surgical practices in real time.
The various surgical phases are presented to the surgeons beforehand, and they are reminded of them during surgery via augmented reality goggles.
- The creation of pathological anatomical parts with 3D-printed soft tissues.
Skylab and its partners are using multi-material 3D printing processes to recreate soft tissues with characteristics similar to those of muscles, tendons, nerves, vessels, etc. This process enables anatomical specimens to be used in the most rational way possible.

ETHICS COMMITTEE
SKYLAB has set up an independent scientific and ethical committee to ensure respect for people and their remains in surgical teaching and research.
The Committee ensures the ethical review of scientific, R&D and training programs hosted by SKYLAB , and provides advice on how to ensure that their design and implementation meet the highest ethical standards.
The Committee also acts as a scientific and educational watchdog, guiding Skylab in its choice of investments or research and development in new technologies.
It proposes new areas of innovation and validates new teaching tools.
It also suggests pedagogical research topics to optimize the use of our anatomical parts.
The Board is made up of 5 members, all of whom are experts in medical, scientific or ethical matters.
Their term of office is three years, renewable.
Current members are :
- Me Philippe Amiel Lawyer and ethicist specializing in the medical-surgical field Chairman of the Ethics Committee
- Pierre-Yves Chapeau Lawyer specializing in victims’ rights
- Pr Philippe Liverneaux Referent orthopaedic surgeon Deliberate practice
- Prof. Jean-Yves Beaulieu Orthopedic Surgeon Professor of Anatomy
- Professor Stéphane Boisgard Orthopaedic surgeon Member of the SOFCOT teaching staff Former President of the CNP COT
