About
Dr. Marta Latasiewicz is a pioneering ophthalmic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, microsurgery, and retinal therapeutics. Her primary research areas include intraocular robotic surgery, subretinal drug delivery, and the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques for the eye. Dr. Latasiewicz is best known for leading the first-in-human study demonstrating the safety and viability of robotic surgery inside the human eye, a landmark achievement published in 2018 that has garnered over 215 citations. This work established a new paradigm for performing delicate subretinal injections with unprecedented precision, opening the door to targeted gene and cell therapies for blinding diseases. Her subsequent first-in-man trial further validated the clinical feasibility of this approach. Dr. Latasiewicz’s contributions have been instrumental in bridging engineering and ophthalmology, offering hope for patients with conditions like age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa. Her pioneering efforts continue to inspire a new generation of surgeons and researchers at the frontier of robotic microsurgery.
