About
Sonal Nagra is a surgical innovator whose work bridges clinical practice, medical education, and emerging technology. Her primary research focuses on surgical simulation, 3D printing applications in medicine, and adapting surgical training during public health crises. Nagra’s most cited work, “Live‑streaming surgery during COVID‑19 using a 3D printed camera” (2021, 4 citations), exemplifies her ability to solve real‑world problems with low‑cost, accessible tools. During the pandemic, when operating room access for students was severely restricted, she designed and validated a simple 3D‑printed camera mount that enabled high‑quality live streaming of surgeries directly to remote learners. This contribution not only maintained educational continuity but also demonstrated a scalable model for virtual surgical training that extends beyond crisis contexts. Her work is notable for its practical impact: it empowers institutions with limited resources to offer immersive surgical observation, reducing the traditional barriers of cost and physical presence. Nagra’s research sits at the intersection of surgical education and digital health, and her innovations continue to influence how future surgeons are trained in an increasingly connected world.
