About
Dr. Shoujing Guo is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of ophthalmic surgery and robotics, whose work is transforming the precision and safety of corneal transplantation. Her primary research areas include optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided surgical techniques, autonomous robotic systems for microsurgery, and advanced procedures for deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). Dr. Guo’s most significant contribution is the development of an OCT-guided robotic device that enables autonomous needle insertion for the "big bubble" hydro-dissection technique in DALK—a procedure notoriously difficult due to the need to precisely separate corneal layers above Descemet’s membrane. Her 2020 study demonstrating the OCT-guided big bubble technique (18 citations) established a new standard for intraoperative visualization, while her 2019 paper on the robotic device (7 citations) showcased a novel integration of sensor-guided autonomy to reduce surgeon error. These works have laid the groundwork for safer, more reproducible corneal transplant surgeries, directly addressing the steep learning curve that has historically limited DALK adoption. Dr. Guo’s innovative fusion of imaging and robotics marks her as a rising leader in surgical automation, with her research promising to expand access to high-precision ophthalmic care.
