Michael Jobst is a board-certified colon and rectal surgeon at Bryan Medical Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, where he has maintained a distinguished private practice for 21 years and currently serves as Vice Chief-of-Staff.
Jobst has been at the forefront of surgical innovation, serving as Principal Investigator in the Virtual Incision trial for the Robotically Assisted Surgical Device — a landmark study examining minimally invasive right and left colectomy procedures that led directly to FDA marketing authorization for the MIRA surgical platform.
His pioneering work reached a historic milestone in February 2024, when Jobst became the first surgeon in history to remotely control a surgical device between Earth and the International Space Station — a breakthrough with profound implications for the future of surgery, both on our planet and beyond.
