Previously an engineer, Mohr switched her attention to medicine and, after inventing the LapCap -- a device to make laproscopic surgeries safer -- began exploring the field of robotic surgery. Through her role as design leader on the DaVinci Surgical Robotic system, she has worked to create both robots and robot-assisted equipment capable of less invasive and traumatic surgeries, and is developing simulation-based teaching methods for doctors and surgeons at Stanford's School of Medicine.
