About
Esther del Cid-Pellitero is a leading neuroscientist whose work bridges advanced neuroimaging and precision stereotaxic techniques in non-human primate models. Her primary research areas include multimodal image co-registration, frameless stereotaxic robotics, and translational neuroscience, with a focus on the common marmoset as a model for human brain disorders. Her most impactful contribution is the development of a novel method for co-registering MRI, CT, and PET imaging data to guide frameless robotic injections, enabling unprecedented accuracy in targeting deep brain structures. This work, published in 2021 and cited 13 times, has become a foundational reference for researchers seeking to minimize tissue damage while maximizing injection precision in marmosets. Del Cid-Pellitero’s innovations are critical for advancing studies in neurodegenerative diseases, as they allow for reproducible, minimally invasive delivery of viral vectors, tracers, or therapeutics. Her achievements highlight the power of integrating engineering and neuroscience, offering a scalable framework for stereotaxic procedures that could eventually inform human neurosurgical applications. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how technical rigor in methodology can open new avenues for understanding brain function and disease.
