Sebastiaan Dulfer is a researcher at the University of Groningen specializing in neurophysiological monitoring for spinal surgery safety. His work directly contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) through advancements in intraoperative neurological protection.

Education:

• PhD in Medical Sciences, University of Groningen (2023)

His research focuses on optimizing motor evoked potential (MEP) monitoring during spinal procedures, investigating critical factors including anesthetic depth, arterial pressure dynamics, vasopressor effects, and electrode configurations. This work addresses the urgent clinical need to prevent neurological complications during complex surgeries like scoliosis correction through precise neuromonitoring.

Analysis of his publication trajectory reveals a systematic approach to solving technical challenges in spinal cord monitoring, progressing from fundamental parameter studies to clinical implementation strategies. His research bridges anesthesiology, neurosurgery, and biomedical engineering through rigorous physiological investigation and statistical modeling.

Dr. Dulfer actively collaborates with the University Medical Center Groningen research team including Prof. Absalom and Prof. Groen, presenting findings at professional conferences on anesthesia depth effects and MEP optimization. His work establishes evidence-based protocols for safer spinal surgery through continuous refinement of neuromonitoring techniques.
