About
Jean-Paul Soucy is a leading figure in translational neuroscience, specializing in the development of advanced stereotaxic methodologies for non-human primate models. His most impactful work centers on the co-registration of multimodal imaging—specifically MRI, CT, and PET—to enable frameless, robotic-guided injections in the common marmoset. This breakthrough, detailed in his 2021 paper (13 citations), addresses a critical bottleneck in preclinical research: the need for precise, reproducible, and minimally invasive delivery of therapeutics or tracers into deep brain structures. By integrating imaging data with robotic systems, Soucy’s approach eliminates the need for traditional stereotaxic frames, reducing surgical trauma and improving accuracy. This innovation has direct implications for studying neurodegenerative diseases and developing targeted gene therapies. Beyond this seminal work, Soucy’s broader contributions include refining imaging protocols for small-animal PET and advancing the use of marmosets as a bridge between rodent models and human clinical trials. His research is widely recognized for its technical rigor and translational potential, making him a key collaborator in multi-institutional projects aimed at mapping primate brain connectivity.
