About
Dr. Sara Gravelyn is a biomedical engineer whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical technologies, particularly for colorectal cancer treatment. Her most-cited work, a 2019 study on a steerable optical coherence tomography (OCT) catheter, addresses a critical gap in endoscopic care: enabling real-time, high-resolution imaging during teleoperated procedures. This innovation helps non-specialist clinicians delineate tumor margins and perform precise endoscopic resections, potentially reducing the need for invasive colon resections. With 26 citations, this paper highlights her contributions to integrating imaging guidance with robotic surgical systems. Dr. Gravelyn’s broader research spans surgical robotics, optical imaging, and telemedicine, aiming to democratize access to expert-level endoscopic treatments. Her work is particularly impactful for early-stage colorectal cancer management, where improved visualization and automation can enhance patient outcomes. By bridging engineering and clinical practice, she is helping to transform endoscopic surgery into a more accessible, precise, and less invasive option.
