About
Cholatip Wiratkapun is a researcher advancing the intersection of biomedical engineering and oncology, with a primary focus on improving breast cancer diagnosis through innovative needle-based systems. Her work centers on the design and development of computer-assisted breast biopsy navigation, where she has created path generation algorithms and graphical user interfaces to enhance the precision and safety of tissue sampling. Her 2014 paper on this topic, which has garnered 10 citations, addresses the critical need for early detection in breast cancer—the second leading cause of death among women worldwide—by reducing reliance on surgical specialists. More recently, Wiratkapun has explored bio-inspired engineering, drawing from the segmented dual-sheath mechanism of Hymenoptera ovipositors to develop a novel needle system. Her 2024 study on hybrid image-based motion tracking and adaptive polynomial Kalman filtering, with 2 citations, pioneers sensor-fusion methods for accurate motion estimation in these flexible needles. This work promises to make biopsies less invasive and more accessible. By combining robotics, control theory, and biological inspiration, Wiratkapun is contributing to a future where early cancer detection is safer, more automated, and widely available.
