In addition, Owase is the Co-Director of Face Value, GOSH & ICH. FaceValue is an academic research programme that analyses 3D changes in the craniofacial skeleton and uses this data for designing novel distractor devices.

Research Summary
FaceValue Research: Owase led the FaceValue Research team that designed the first ‘GOSH springs’ mentioned above for use in craniofacial surgery. Their utility has been established in Cranial Vault Expansion and reconstruction surgery, making the surgery safer, easier and more efficient. This technique is being adopted by a number of other centres internationally. The technology has been bought by KLS Martin, a German medical devices manufacturer for global use. The FaceValue Research Group is currently working at developing further novel distractors using the properties of memory metals to achieve more predictable and uniform craniofacial distraction. These distractors have been patented. Owase’s group was the first in the world to publish the use of the StealthStation® intra operative navigation system in Craniofacial Distraction surgery.
Owase has also led and contributed to neurosurgical and craniofacial research presented in a number of publications.
Teaching Summary
Over the course of his surgical training, Owase has scheduled and conducted regular tutorials and small discussion groups for medical students, doctors and allied health care professionals on neurosurgical and medico-legal topics. Owase actively participates in weekly journal clubs, audits and multidisciplinary meetings. In the operating room, Owase has supervised a number of junior colleagues through neurosurgical procedures. Owase finds this aspect of his professional practice incredibly rewarding and has been fortunate to receive excellent reviews from his students and senior colleagues who have observed him in his role as a trainer. He has also delivered a number of workshops, including:
Endoscopy assisted skull base approaches - Kings College Hospital
Practical Neurology - UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health
Endoscopic 3rd Ventriculostomy Course - UCL
Owase has also delivered presentations at a number of institutions in the UK, but also in Tokyo, Canada, USA and Turkey.
