Timothy J. Broderick,F.A.C.S.,[3] is Professor of Surgery andBiomedical Engineering at theUniversity of Cincinnati, where he has been on the faculty since 2003.[4] He also is Chief of the Division of Gastrointestinal and Endocrine Surgery and is Director of the Advanced Center for Telemedicine and Surgical Innovation (ACTSI). He has flown on the NASAKC-135 parabolic laboratory ("vomit comet") anddived in the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO) program to develop advanced surgical technologies for long durationspace flight.[3]
Broderick has spearheaded efforts in the area of advancedlaparoscopic,robotic and teleroboticsurgery. He has worked within theNational Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Medical Informatics and Technology Applications Consortium, theDefense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Trauma Pod Program, theU.S. ArmyTelemedicine & Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC), and theNational Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) External Advisory Council. He provides consultation to many companies includingEthicon Endo-Surgery andGeneral Dynamics Robotic Systems. He is a peer-reviewedDepartment of Defense and NASA funded researcher primarily focused on the development and application of advancedtechnology insurgery. His ongoing research programs include simulation, informatics,telemedicine, robotic surgery and robotic telesurgery.[3] Broderick is the Program Manager forDARPA'sMicrosystems Technology Office (MTO).[4]
Broderick is a graduate ofXavier University inCincinnati, where he received aB.S. degreecum laude inChemistry andComputer Science in 1986.[1][3][4] He attended theUniversity of Cincinnati College of Medicine, receiving his medical degree in 1990. Following residency and research fellowship at theMedical College of Virginia atVirginia Commonwealth University (MCV/VCU), Broderick was on the faculty at MCV/VCU inRichmond, Virginia, until returning to Cincinnati.[3]
Broderick's honors include election toAlpha Omega Alpha, the David M. Hume Research Award from the Humera Surgical Society, the Young Investigator Award fromSmithKline Beecham, the 2004 Space Medicine Branch Young Investigator Award Finalist (Aerospace Medical Association), and the Best Technology award from the 2006 World Congress of Endoscopic Surgery/European Association of Endoscopy Surgery. He is a member of over a dozen professional societies including theAmerican College of Surgeons, Association for Academic Surgery, Society of University Surgeons, Aerospace Medical Association,American Telemedicine Association,American Medical Informatics Association,American Association for the Advancement of Science, Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons, Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons, the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, theUndersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, and theExplorers Club. He is also a member of the Medical Advisory Board for the National Center for Space Biological Technologies (NCSBT) atStanford University.[3]
Broderick has published over 40 articles and made over 50 presentations at local, national and international meetings. He was awarded extramural funding by SmithKline Beecham, theAmerican Heart Association, NASA and the Department of Defense. The U.S. Army TATRC has supported his research "NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations 12", "Robotic Surgery in Flight", and "High Altitude Platforms Mobile Robotic Telesurgery". Broderick is a reviewer forTelemedicine and e-Health Journal; the journalAviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine; U.S. Army TATRC; and the U.S.Department of Homeland Security.[3]
In April 2006, Broderick became anaquanaut through his participation in the joint NASA-NOAA,NEEMO 9 (NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations) project, an exploration research mission held inAquarius, the world's onlyundersea research laboratory. During this eighteen-day mission, the six-person crew of NEEMO 9 developedlunar surface exploration procedures and telemedical technology applications in support of theUnited States'Vision for Space Exploration.[5][6] Broderick was an aquanaut again on theNEEMO 12 mission in May 2007.[7]
Broderick plays a major role in the education of faculty, residents, medical students, and community physicians in advanced laparoscopic and robotic procedures. He continues to use his skills as clinician, educator, computer scientist, and technologist to foster major advances in the art and science of surgery.[3]
Broderick is the son of Joseph Dilger Broderick and Marilyn Ann (Fischer) Broderick.[2] On October 5, 1996, he married Kara Lynn Jones inRichmond, Virginia.[8]
