Oleynikov and Farritor.<\/span>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>&#8220;I am motivated in my clinical research to create new discoveries and solve new problems in surgery.  I have always felt that progress could not be had without learning from our history and improving our future,&#8221; Dr. Oleynikov said.  <\/p>\n<p>In collaboration with Dr. Farritor, Dr. Oleynikov has led a team that combines the experience of surgical practice with the exceptional problem-solving skills of the engineering profession. <\/p>\n<p>The results have been a radical departure from existing surgical technology: the surgical robotic device they have developed is miniature, mobile, remotely controlled and fits entirely inside the abdominal cavity. <\/p>\n<p>The Oleynikov and Farritor partnership has resulted in multiple patents and technology commercialization and is widely recognized as a model for cross-campus collaboration. It is for extending their academic expertise beyond the boundaries of the university in ways that have enriched the broader community that they were jointly acknowledged.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My life&#8217;s goal is to transform surgery to be safer, more patient friendly and to improve the outcomes from surgical operations that we perform today,&#8221; Dr. Oleynikov said. &#8220;I innovate not because I want to but because I am presented with patient need and I feel I have to do something to help solve these surgical problems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With collaborator Shane Farritor, Ph.D., of UNL, Dr. Oleynikov recognized for innovation, development and
