About

Dr. M. Schellenberg is a pioneering interventional pulmonologist whose research is reshaping the landscape of lung cancer diagnostics, with a specific focus on the adoption and optimization of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) in Europe. As a leading voice in the field, Schellenberg’s work addresses the critical gap between established U.S. practices and the nascent European experience with the ION™ Endoluminal System. Their landmark studies, including the first European results of ssRAB and a dedicated learning curve analysis, provide the foundational evidence for integrating this cutting-edge technology into clinical practice. By demonstrating the feasibility and rapid learnability of ssRAB for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary nodules (PPNs), Schellenberg has directly influenced procedural standards and training protocols across the continent. With their most-cited work already accumulating over six citations in its first year, Schellenberg’s contributions are not only advancing technical proficiency but also improving patient outcomes by enabling earlier, less invasive diagnoses. Their research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers navigating the robotic revolution in bronchoscopy.
