To protect important motor functions during brain surgery, Andreas Raabe has developed a new continuous monitoring method. He has also introduced microscope-integrated video-angiography to neurosurgery for the operation of aneurysms and vascular malformations. For the development of these innovative surgical procedures, he received the prestigious “European Lecture” award from the European Society of Neurosurgery in 2019.
In September 2020, Andreas Raabe together with two scientists from Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc. was nominated for the German Future Prize for the development of an innovative robotic visualization system in neurosurgery.
His professional training and specialization was supplemented and deepened during annual stays at renowned universities abroad. Andreas Raabe is a regular speaker at national and international courses or congresses, especially on topics such as training, surgical techniques, innovations in surgery, aneurysms and brain tumors.
Andreas Raabe is a member of several national and international professional societies and a reviewer for the most important international journalist in the field of neurosurgery. He is also a reviewer for the Swiss National Science Foundation and the German Research Foundation.

Andreas Nowacki, MD, is a specialist in neurosurgery and has been a senior physician at the Department of Neurosurgery at Inselspital, Bern University Hospital since 2020.
Andreas Nowacki completed his studies in human medicine in 2013 at the University of Tübingen, Germany. He then continued his training at the Department of Neurosurgery at Inselspital. Fascinated by the possibility of treating diverse diseases of the central nervous system by modulating neuronal networks using electrostimulation, he set his clinical and research focus very early in the field of functional neurosurgery and neuromodulation. In November 2015, he completed his PhD in the field of basic research of complex signaling systems
During a fellowship program accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons in Oxford, UK, in 2018, he was able to further deepen his knowledge in the field of functional neurosurgery and neuromodulation and gain in-depth expertise.
In 2019, Andreas Nowacki passed the specialist examination, and since 2020 he has been a senior physician at Inselspital. In 2023, he completed his habilitation in neurosurgery at the University of Bern.
Andreas Nowacki is a member of the European Association of Functional Neurosurgery. He is also a reviewer of several renowned scientific journals (including NeuroImage, Neuromodulation).

Boris Radanovic studied human medicine at the University of Basel. He subsequently gained his first surgical experience in general surgery and in the intensive care unit of the University Hospital Basel. This was followed by research work in the laboratory in Basel under Prof. Raphael Guzman, during which he investigated neuroregeneration after ischemic damage with regard to therapeutic effects of umbilical cord stem cells in children with cerebral palsy. Boris Radanovic started his neurosurgical training in Basel in 2021 and continues it in Bern under the supervision of Prof. Andreas Raabe since 2022. His main areas of interest are the neuroregenerative effects of stem cells, neurosurgical traumatology, and degenerative spinal diseases.
