About
Manuel J. Marques is a pioneering researcher in biomedical optics and minimally invasive imaging, whose work centers on integrating advanced optical techniques with robotic systems for clinical diagnostics. His major contributions lie in the development of multimodal endoscopic platforms that combine en-face optical coherence tomography (OCT) with fluorescence endomicroscopy (FEM), enabling simultaneous structural and molecular imaging of tissue. His most cited paper, "En-face optical coherence tomography/fluorescence endomicroscopy for minimally invasive imaging using a robotic scanner" (2019, 31 citations), introduces a compact rigid instrument with a robotic scanning device that delivers forward-viewing OCT alongside FEM through two dedicated imaging channels. This innovation addresses critical challenges in real-time, high-resolution tissue characterization during minimally invasive procedures. Marques’s work has significant implications for early cancer detection and image-guided surgery, bridging the gap between laboratory optical systems and clinical translation. His research is recognized for its technical ingenuity in merging robotics with optical coherence tomography, offering a path toward safer, more precise diagnostic tools. With a growing citation impact, Marques continues to advance the frontier of endoscopic imaging, inspiring new approaches in biomedical engineering and interventional medicine.
