About
Borami Shin is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of soft robotics and cardiovascular medicine, with a primary focus on developing implantable devices to treat heart failure. Her most notable contribution is the design and validation of a novel soft robotic ventricular assist device that dynamically augments both left ventricle and mitral valve function simultaneously—a critical advancement given that left ventricular failure is strongly linked to secondary mitral valve regurgitation. This work, published in 2020 and garnering 19 citations, demonstrates how soft robotic technologies can be harnessed to restore native tissue function rather than simply replace it. Shin’s research represents a paradigm shift in cardiac assist devices, moving from rigid, pulsatile pumps to flexible, biomimetic systems that work in harmony with the heart’s natural mechanics. Her contributions are particularly impactful for the growing field of implantable soft robotics, where her device offers a less invasive, more adaptive solution for patients with advanced heart failure. Through her innovative approach, Shin is helping to bridge the gap between engineering and clinical cardiology, opening new avenues for treating one of the most challenging cardiovascular conditions.
