About

Dr. Feifei Wen is a leading pulmonary medicine researcher whose work centers on advancing the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules through cutting-edge bronchoscopic technologies. Her primary research areas include shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB), virtual bronchoscopic navigation, and the optimization of minimally invasive biopsy techniques for early lung cancer detection. Dr. Wen’s major contribution lies in her landmark comparative study, which demonstrated that ssRAB—with its enhanced catheter articulation and stability—significantly outperforms virtual bronchoscopic navigation in diagnostic accuracy for peripheral nodules. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering 5 citations, has quickly become a foundational reference for clinicians and engineers seeking to improve biopsy outcomes. By rigorously evaluating emerging robotic platforms against established navigation methods, Dr. Wen provides critical evidence that shapes clinical guidelines and device development. Her research not only highlights the potential of robotic assistance to reduce procedural risks and increase diagnostic yield but also paves the way for broader adoption of these technologies. For students and researchers, Dr. Wen’s work exemplifies how translational studies can directly impact patient care, offering a clear roadmap for evaluating and implementing next-generation bronchoscopic tools.
