About
Dan Lei is a pioneering biomedical engineer whose research centers on intraoperative imaging, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and robotic surgical systems. His most significant contribution is the development of the Fast Adaptive Focus Tracking Robotic OCT (FACT-ROCT) system, a breakthrough technology that enables real-time, high-resolution imaging during human spinal cord surgery. This system uniquely combines adaptive focus tracking with robotic control to provide large-area microvascular imaging and real-time tumor grading, addressing a critical gap in current neurosurgical practice where surgeons lack in vivo multifunctional imaging for precise tumor resection. Lei's work, published in *Advanced Science* in 2025, has already garnered early citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the field. By allowing surgeons to visualize tissue microstructure and vascular networks during operations, his research promises to improve surgical outcomes and reduce the need for repeat procedures. Lei's innovative integration of robotics and advanced optics positions him as a rising leader in surgical imaging technology, with his FACT-ROCT system poised to transform how spinal cord tumors are treated.
