WHAT WE DO
Our Mission
ICCI, a research lab at SickKids Hospital, pioneers craniofacial and plastic surgery through technological innovation.
We focus on surgical robotics, minimally invasive surgery, and medical device design using 3D printing, advanced machining, robotics, virtual environments, and machine learning.
Our mission is to enhance patient care in craniofacial, cleft, and plastic surgery.
