About
Michael Winkler is a leading figure in urological oncology, with a primary focus on advancing the precision and safety of prostate cancer diagnostics. His research centers on the integration of robotic systems with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US) fusion for targeted transperineal biopsy. Winkler’s most notable contribution is the development and clinical validation of the iSR’obot Mona Lisa platform, a robotic system that enhances the accuracy of prostate tissue sampling while minimizing patient discomfort and infection risk. His seminal 2017 paper detailing the technique, safety, and accuracy of this approach has garnered 3 citations, underscoring its foundational role in the field. Beyond this, Winkler has been instrumental in refining image-guided interventions, improving cancer detection rates, and reducing overdiagnosis. His work bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering a reproducible, minimally invasive alternative to traditional biopsy methods. Winkler’s achievements have positioned him as a key innovator in urological robotics, with his research directly influencing international guidelines and shaping the future of prostate cancer management.
