About

Sergey Taskaev is a leading researcher in the emerging field of soft robotics for biomedical applications, with a specific focus on minimally invasive interventions. His work centers on the design and control of reprogrammable magnetic soft robots to tackle two of the most critical challenges in modern medicine: catheter-related biofilm infections and thrombosis. Taskaev’s major contributions include the development of a magnetic soft robot capable of eradicating biofilms on urethral catheters, a pervasive problem affecting millions of patients annually. He has also pioneered a reprogrammable soft swimmer designed for minimally invasive thrombus extraction, offering a potential alternative to current high-risk treatments for thrombosis-related diseases, the world’s leading cause of death. With his most-cited papers from 2022 and 2023 already accumulating over 70 citations, Taskaev’s work is rapidly gaining recognition for its potential to reduce the deadly consequences of invasive procedures. His research represents a significant step toward safer, more effective, and less traumatic medical treatments.
