About

Ashish Karir is a rising leader in interventional pulmonology, whose work is reshaping the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral pulmonary nodules. His research centers on the intersection of advanced bronchoscopic techniques and precision imaging, with a particular focus on shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB). Karir’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the diagnostic and safety performance of ssRAB combined with cone beam CT (CBCT), offering a powerful, minimally invasive alternative to traditional CT-guided biopsy. His landmark 2025 study, already cited 3 times, provides critical insights into the efficacy of this approach for small nodules and those located near fissures or the pleura—areas historically challenging to sample. In a complementary 2025 review, he synthesized the broader landscape of interventional bronchoscopy, highlighting how robotic assistance is driving a paradigm shift from diagnostic to therapeutic applications. With his work rapidly gaining traction, Karir is establishing himself as a key voice in the evolution of precision pulmonary medicine, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and improved patient outcomes.
