About
Iris Mulder is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of medical microrobotics, specializing in the wireless control of untethered magnetic robots (UMRs) for minimally invasive vascular interventions. Her work centers on two transformative applications: treating life-threatening conditions like strokes and brain aneurysms, and advancing biohybrid systems for targeted drug delivery. In her most-cited study (2025, 3 citations), Mulder demonstrated the first wireless mechanical and hybrid thrombus fragmentation in an ex vivo iliac artery model, using X-ray-guided magnetic fields to precisely navigate UMRs—a breakthrough that could revolutionize clot removal without traditional catheter constraints. She further innovated by empowering sperm cell-based biohybrid microrobots with enhanced actuation and localization, overcoming the critical trade-off between magnetic responsiveness, imaging detectability, and cytocompatibility (2025, 3 citations). Her 2024 work on cerebral vascular phantoms (1 citation) established foundational X-ray-guided control for neurosurgical applications. By integrating real-time imaging with wireless magnetic actuation, Mulder is solving core challenges in precision therapy delivery, offering a path toward safer, less invasive treatments for stroke, aneurysms, and beyond.
