About

Dr. Jichun Tan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and regenerative medicine, with a primary focus on developing novel surgical technologies for endometrial regeneration and women's reproductive health. Her most significant contribution is the design of the first robotic system specifically engineered for endometrial regeneration surgery—a groundbreaking therapy that uses stem cells to restore fertility in women with damaged uterine linings. This work, published in 2022 and already garnering 13 citations, introduces a robust remote center of motion constraint that enhances surgical precision and safety in delicate intrauterine procedures. Dr. Tan's research addresses a critical gap in surgical robotics, where no prior system existed for this emerging stem-cell-based therapy. By integrating mechanical constraints with robotic control, her system enables surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures with unprecedented accuracy, potentially transforming treatment options for infertility. Her work has been recognized for its translational impact, bridging engineering innovation with clinical need. With a growing citation record reflecting the field's interest, Dr. Tan continues to advance robotic-assisted surgery for reproductive health, positioning herself as a leader in this niche but vital area of biomedical engineering.
