About

Dr. Cherry Leung is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and reproductive medicine, whose work has fundamentally advanced the automation of assisted reproductive technologies. Her primary research areas include robotic micromanipulation, biomedical microdevices, and cell-level surgical automation. Dr. Leung’s most transformative contribution is her seminal 2011 paper, "Robotic ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)," which represents the first-ever report of a fully robotic system for performing ICSI—a critical clinical procedure where a single sperm is picked up and injected into an egg cell. This work, cited over 180 times, has opened new frontiers in fertility treatment by enhancing precision, reducing human error, and potentially increasing success rates in IVF clinics worldwide. Beyond this landmark achievement, her research has consistently focused on developing high-throughput, automated platforms for single-cell manipulation, addressing long-standing challenges in clinical embryology. Dr. Leung’s innovations have not only garnered significant academic recognition but also hold profound implications for improving accessibility and consistency in reproductive healthcare, making her a leading figure in the emerging field of robotic-assisted fertility treatment.
