About

Dr. Corey R. Deeken is a leading researcher in biomedical engineering and surgical innovation, with a primary focus on prosthetic development and advanced hernia repair technologies. Her most impactful work includes the development of a novel, low-cost 3D-printed robotic prosthetic for transradial amputees, a study that has garnered 124 citations and demonstrated how additive manufacturing can dramatically reduce the cost of myoelectric prostheses while addressing key functional limitations of earlier designs like the Robohand. In the field of abdominal wall reconstruction, Dr. Deeken has made significant contributions through her involvement in the ATLAS trial, a prospective, multicenter study evaluating a long-term bioabsorbable mesh (P4HB-ST) for challenging laparoscopic ventral or incisional hernia repairs in high-risk patients. She has also explored reinforced tissue matrices to strengthen the abdominal wall following ostomy reversal, aiming to prevent incisional hernias. Her work bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering cost-effective, patient-centered solutions that improve surgical outcomes and quality of life. With her research cited in numerous surgical and biomedical journals, Dr. Deeken is recognized for advancing both prosthetic accessibility and hernia repair durability.
