Moritz Queisner is Professor for Interdisciplinary Technology Transfer and Digitalization in Surgery at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. At the Department of Surgery, he is a principal investigator at Experimental Surgery, where he directs the Digital Surgery Lab. His research investigates the design, assessment, and clinical translation of digital technologies in surgery and biomedicine, with a focus on extended reality, AI-assisted workflows, and spatial and volumetric visualization. The professorship is associated with the Cluster of Excellence Matters of Activity at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, where he is also a principal investigator.
Moritz holds a PhD from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, a master's degree in European Media Studies, and a bachelor's degree in Media and Communication Studies. His academic background in media studies and digital health informs a research approach that combines clinical technology development with questions of design, media theory, and knowledge practices in medicine. He and his team received the Max Rubner-Preis for work on immersive patient journeys in clinical settings. Current projects span intraoperative guidance, surgical training and simulation, AI-based decision support, and 4D medical imaging. He is a principal investigator in the DFG Priority Programme The Digital Image.
