About

Juho Pokki is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of microrobotics and biomedical engineering, with a primary focus on developing wireless magnetic microdevices for minimally invasive ophthalmic procedures. His most impactful contribution is the electroforming of implantable tubular magnetic microrobots for wireless ophthalmologic applications, a breakthrough that enables targeted drug delivery and sutureless injections via a 23-gauge needle—a work that has garnered 138 citations. This innovation addresses critical challenges in treating retinal diseases by offering precise, untethered control within the delicate eye environment. Additionally, Pokki has advanced the understanding of retinal vein cannulation by characterizing puncture forces using chicken embryo chorioallantoic membranes, providing essential data for safer surgical interventions (21 citations). His exploration of non-contact, 3D magnetic biomanipulation further demonstrates his commitment to expanding the capabilities of micro/nanorobots for both in vivo and in vitro applications. Through these contributions, Pokki has established himself as a key figure in translating microrobotic technologies from concept to clinical reality, with his work holding transformative potential for ophthalmology and beyond.
