About
Dr. Lucy Liang is a pioneering researcher in the field of non-human primate (NHP) neuroscience and surgical instrumentation, with a core focus on developing high-precision, minimally-invasive techniques for deep brain electrophysiology. Her major contributions center on bridging the gap between clinical neurosurgical robotics and basic neuroscience research. In her landmark 2022 work, Dr. Liang demonstrated the use of the ROSA One® Robot Assistance Platform to achieve unprecedented implantation accuracy in macaques, overcoming the significant variability inherent in traditional stereotaxic frames—a study that has already garnered 14 citations for its transformative approach. More recently, in 2024, she introduced an open-source MRI-compatible stereotaxic frame designed for multimodal presurgical mapping (MRI, CT, PET) in both macaque and capuchin monkeys. This innovation, with 7 citations, addresses the critical need for individualized anatomical targeting across varied tissue types, making advanced neurosurgical precision more accessible to the research community. Dr. Liang’s work not only enhances the reliability of electrophysiological recordings but also promotes ethical refinement by reducing surgical trauma, positioning her as a leading voice in translational neurotechnology.
