About
Marcus C. J. de Boer is a pioneering researcher in the field of medical robotics, with a specific focus on the wireless control of untethered magnetic robots (UMRs) for minimally invasive vascular interventions. His work centers on the development of advanced magnetic actuation systems that can navigate complex anatomical environments, particularly within the cerebral vasculature and peripheral arteries. A major contribution is his investigation into wireless mechanical and hybrid thrombus fragmentation, as demonstrated in his 2025 study on an ex vivo endovascular thrombosis model in the iliac artery (3 citations). This work addresses the critical challenge of precise and controlled blood clot removal, offering a potential alternative to traditional catheter-based methods. Additionally, his 2024 paper on X-ray-guided magnetic fields for wireless control of UMRs in cerebral vascular phantoms (1 citation) explores a novel approach to enhancing neurosurgical procedures for strokes and brain aneurysms. By integrating real-time imaging with magnetic manipulation, de Boer’s research pushes the boundaries of untethered robotic systems, aiming to improve procedural safety and efficacy. His contributions represent a significant step toward the clinical translation of wireless microrobots for endovascular therapy.
