Izadyar Tamadon is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering Technology, University of Twente. Izad joined the Biomedical Device Design and Production Technology (BDDP) group since 2022.

The main focus of his current research is to use new techniques, new technologies, plus new ways of using existing methods to enhance comfort, accuracy and reliability in design of biomedical instruments. In his academic career, he has contributed to minimally invasive therapies and interventions with special focus on mechatronics design that shaped from collaborations with clinicians.

His passion and enthusiasm in this field initiated from a M.Sc. degree in Mechatronics engineering (IUST, Tehran, IRAN) and a PhD program in BioRobotics (SSSA, Pisa, ITALY). He continued the research journey for three years in the surgical robotics lab and regenerative technologies lab as a postdoctoral researcher.

Izad was an active member of several EU Horizon and Italian projects like ARTERY, FORGETDIABETES, BIOSUP, ROBOIMPLANT and VALVETECH. Those projects were related to innovative designs of flexible manipulators for cardiac interventions, implantable drug delivery devices and artificial mechatronics organs.

OxyForce - Oxygen and Force Sensing Solution for Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, and early detection is critical for improving patient outcomes. However, current screening methods (e.g. mammography or ultrasound) have limitations in terms of accessibility, cost, accuracy, and reliability. Measuring oxygen saturation levels in cancerous tissue can provide valuable information about the tumor microenvironment. To address this hypothesis, we propose a novel approach that combines multiple technologies inspired by the metabolic and mechanical properties of the tumor: oxygen saturation sensing, force sensing, and artificial intelligence (AI). This proposal aims to develop a new diagnostic tool that can detect tumors at an early stage with high sensitivity and reliability, while also providing a non-invasive, user-friendly, and cost-effective solution for breast cancer screening. Ultimately, incorporating these technologies in breast cancer detection has the potential to improve patient outcomes, screening frequency and mortality rate associated with breast cancer.
