About
James G. Connolly is a leading figure in interventional pulmonology, specializing in the development and clinical application of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy for the diagnosis and management of thoracic malignancies. His major contributions center on demonstrating the feasibility and diagnostic utility of this advanced technology, particularly in accessing challenging pulmonary parenchymal lesions. His seminal 2021 work on shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, cited 183 times, established a new standard for minimally invasive lung biopsy, significantly improving diagnostic yield and safety. Connolly further advanced the field by pioneering the use of this platform for biomarker identification in thoracic malignancies, enabling critical molecular profiling from small tissue samples. His research has directly shaped clinical protocols, offering patients a less invasive pathway to definitive diagnosis and personalized therapy. With a growing citation impact, Connolly’s work is widely recognized for bridging engineering innovation and bedside care, making him a key voice in the evolution of precision pulmonary medicine.
