About

Hanchuan Tang is pioneering the frontier of magnetic soft robotics for minimally invasive medicine, with a focus on in vivo bioprinting, targeted embolization, and intelligent implantable systems. His landmark 2021 work on ferromagnetic soft catheter robots for minimally invasive bioprinting (223 citations) introduced a paradigm for directly fabricating artificial tissues and medical devices inside the body, overcoming the skin-depth limitations of prior approaches. In 2024, Tang advanced interventional neuroradiology with magnetic soft microfiberbots for robotic embolization (165 citations), offering a precise, minimally invasive strategy to occlude cerebral aneurysms and brain tumors. His most recent contributions include a miniature magneto-ultrasonic machine that resolves the sensing-actuation incompatibility at small scales, enabling wireless robotic sensing and manipulation, and a magnetic soft robotic system for intelligent bladder volume control in underactive bladder patients—addressing infection risks and sensory deficits inherent in wired closed-loop systems. With over 400 citations across his core publications, Tang’s work is defining a new class of soft, wirelessly controlled biomedical robots that promise to transform interventional procedures and implantable therapeutics.
