About
Jason Shrand is a rising star in surgical robotics, whose work is redefining the boundaries of minimally invasive surgery. His primary research focuses on developing and evaluating novel robotic systems, with a particular emphasis on concentric tube robots and handheld robotic tools for urological procedures. Shrand’s most significant contribution is his pioneering work on transurethral suturing, a critical step in radical prostatectomy. His 2022 paper, which has garnered 9 citations, demonstrates the first successful use of concentric tube robots to perform anastomosis from within the urethra, a feat that could dramatically reduce the invasiveness of prostate cancer surgery. Beyond this, Shrand has advanced the field by creating a virtual reality framework for evaluating surgical robot designs and by systematically comparing onboard versus offboard user interfaces for handheld robots. He has also developed a safe framework for quantitative in vivo evaluation of image guidance, applied in a case study on robotic partial nephrectomy. With a growing body of work that spans from benchtop validation to human evaluation, Shrand is establishing himself as a key innovator in the next generation of surgical technology.
