About

Jin-Hui Shen is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of ophthalmic microsurgery, robotics, and advanced imaging. His work centers on developing robotic systems and real-time optical coherence tomography (OCT) guidance to overcome the fundamental challenges of retinal surgery: limited visualization and the need for sub-millimeter precision. Shen’s major contributions include the design and calibration of a robotic telemanipulator integrated with a customized B-mode OCT probe, enabling surgeons to visualize subsurface anatomical structures during delicate procedures. He also developed the first intraocular OCT-forceps, a 23-gauge tool that provides real-time tissue feedback. His most cited work, with 66 citations, evaluates this system for microsurgical tasks, demonstrating its potential to enhance safety and accuracy. Shen has further advanced the field by exploring continuum robots for multi-scale motion, using equilibrium modulation to achieve micro-scale movement for deep surgical sites. His recent work on robot-assisted subretinal drug delivery addresses the critical need for localized gene therapy administration. With over 200 total citations, Shen’s research is shaping the future of image-guided robotic microsurgery, offering new hope for treating retinal diseases.
