About

Dr. Junjun Ma is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work spans the evolution of minimally invasive surgery for gastrointestinal cancers and the cutting-edge application of robotics in agriculture. His primary research areas include laparoscopic, robotic, and open surgical techniques for gastric and colorectal cancers, as well as the development of AI-driven robotic systems for precision harvesting. Dr. Ma’s major contributions include leading the IMIGASTRIC study, a multi-institutional protocol that systematically compares surgical, clinical, and oncological outcomes across robotic, laparoscopic, and open approaches for gastric cancer. This work, cited over 35 times, has helped define the evidence base for minimally invasive surgery. His comprehensive literature review on the current status and limitations of minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery (36 citations) remains a key reference for clinicians and researchers. More recently, Dr. Ma has ventured into agricultural robotics, introducing a YOLO-OBB-based method for citrus fruit stem pose estimation, enabling more efficient robotic picking in unstructured orchard environments. With a career that bridges surgical oncology and agricultural automation, Dr. Ma exemplifies translational innovation, demonstrating how surgical precision and robotic intelligence can transform both human health and food production.
