Dr. Daniel Rucker's lab focuses on improving the tools used in minimally invasive colon surgeries. They are developing steerable instrument sheaths that can help doctors remove challenging colon lesions without needing invasive surgeries like colectomies. This innovation aims to make these procedures safer and accessible to more patients, bridging the skill gap between expert and average endoscopists.
