About
Dr. Annette Gendron‐Fitzpatrick is a leading veterinary pathologist whose work bridges biomedical engineering and translational medicine, with a focus on noninvasive therapeutic technologies. Her key research areas include histotripsy, a nonthermal focused ultrasound ablation method, and preclinical validation of novel surgical devices. She is best known for her seminal contribution to the proof-of-concept study on robotically assisted sonic therapy (RAST) in a porcine liver model, demonstrating its feasibility for creating clinically relevant hepatic ablations capable of treating 2-cm tumors. This highly cited work (90 citations) established RAST as a promising noninvasive, nonthermal modality for liver cancer treatment, with potential to reduce recovery times and complications. Dr. Gendron‐Fitzpatrick’s expertise in large-animal models and histopathological analysis has been instrumental in advancing these technologies from bench to bedside. Her collaborative research has shaped the development of safer, more precise ablation tools, making her a pivotal figure in the intersection of pathology and therapeutic ultrasound innovation.
