About

Lisa Mareschal is a leading researcher in the field of medical robotics and image-guided interventions, with a primary focus on improving the precision and safety of transperineal prostate procedures. Her major contribution lies in developing data-driven, adaptive systems to assist with needle insertion, a critical challenge in biopsies, thermal ablations, and brachytherapy. Her most-cited work (2023, 13 citations) introduces a novel assist method that leverages real-time data to compensate for needle deflection, a common source of inaccuracy when using long 150–200 mm needles. This adaptive approach significantly enhances targeting reliability, directly impacting clinical outcomes. Mareschal’s research bridges the gap between theoretical robotics and practical urological interventions, demonstrating a clear commitment to translational impact. Her work is particularly notable for its focus on the transperineal route, a technically demanding approach that offers advantages over transrectal methods. By addressing the core mechanical challenges of needle steering, Mareschal is helping to pave the way for more effective, minimally invasive prostate cancer diagnostics and treatments, establishing her as an emerging authority in interventional robotics.
