About
Jean-Pierre Hubschman is a pioneering ophthalmologist and robotic surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of microsurgery and medical robotics. His primary research focuses on developing and validating robotic systems for intraocular surgery, with the goal of enhancing precision and safety in procedures like cataract removal and retinal vein cannulation. Hubschman led the creation of the Intraocular Robotic Interventional Surgical System (IRISS), a platform capable of performing complete, multi-step eye surgeries—a significant leap beyond earlier systems limited to single tasks. His landmark 2017 paper on IRISS’s mechanical design and master-slave manipulation has garnered over 120 citations, while his 2008 feasibility study using the da Vinci system for intraocular surgery remains highly influential with 103 citations. Hubschman has also advanced semi-automated, OCT-guided cataract extraction, integrating deep learning for real-time tissue segmentation. His work on the Hexapod Surgical System and automated retinal vein cannulation further underscores his impact, collectively shaping the future of robotic ophthalmology. A professor at UCLA’s Stein Eye Institute, Hubschman’s contributions have laid the groundwork for safer, more reproducible microsurgical interventions.
