About

Chunli Tang is a leading expert in interventional pulmonology, with a primary focus on the development and clinical application of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) for managing peripheral pulmonary lesions. As the principal author of the "Chinese expert consensus on shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy in the management of peripheral pulmonary lesions" (2025), Tang played a pivotal role in establishing the first national guidelines for this emerging technology in China. This landmark work, which has already garnered 3 citations shortly after publication, synthesizes evidence from early adoption in the United States since 2019 to create a standardized framework for clinical practice. Tang’s contributions bridge the gap between cutting-edge robotic bronchoscopy—which uses optic fibers for precise positional feedback and robotic control for enhanced maneuverability—and real-world clinical implementation. By spearheading this consensus, Tang has directly shaped how Chinese pulmonologists approach minimally invasive diagnosis of lung lesions, improving diagnostic yield while reducing procedural risks. This work positions Tang as a key translational figure, accelerating the safe adoption of ssRAB technology across Asia and contributing to the global evolution of interventional pulmonology.
