We warmly congratulate Prof. Dr. med. Kathleen Seidel on her appointment as Associate Professor at the Medical Faculty of the University of Bern, which took effect on 1 August 2022.
Prof. Kathleen Seidel, MD, works as a senior neurosurgeon at our Department of Neurosurgery at Inselspital, Bern University Hospital. Her professional and scientific specialties are in tumor surgery and intraoperative neurophysiology.
In particular, Kathleen Seidel has taken on a pioneering role in the area of function monitoring during neurosurgical operations. Together with Prof. Andreas Raabe, she has developed a method that makes it possible to precisely estimate the distance to important functional centers using neurophysiological signals during tumor operations on the brain and spinal cord, thus better protecting patients during risky procedures.
Today, Kathleen Seidel heads the Department of Intraoperative Neurophysiology at Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, which she herself established. International guest doctors regularly sit in on her department to receive training in modern monitoring and mapping technologies. Kathleen Seidel has published numerous papers in her field and is a sought-after guest speaker at international conferences.
In recognition of her outstanding and promising scientific achievements, Kathleen Seidel received the Theodor Kocher Prize from the University of Bern in 2018. She was awarded the professorship for her groundbreaking developments and work in intraoperative neurophysiology.
