About
Xiaofei Zhang is a pioneering researcher in therapeutic ultrasound, with a focus on histotripsy—a non-invasive, non-thermal ablation technique that uses focused ultrasound to mechanically destroy tissue. Her major contributions center on advancing histotripsy for clinical applications, particularly in hepatic and renal tumor treatments. In her highly cited 2021 paper, "Transcostal Histotripsy Ablation in an In Vivo Acute Hepatic Porcine Model," Zhang demonstrated the feasibility of delivering histotripsy through the rib cage, overcoming a key barrier to treating liver tumors. This work, with 21 citations, has been instrumental in refining protocols for safe, effective ablation in challenging anatomical sites. Zhang’s research has also explored the immune response to histotripsy, showing its potential to stimulate antitumor immunity. Her achievements include developing real-time imaging feedback systems to monitor treatment progress, enhancing precision and safety. With a growing citation impact, Zhang is recognized as a rising leader in non-invasive cancer therapies, bridging engineering innovation with translational medicine to improve patient outcomes.
