Matthew Eagleton

Matthew Eagleton is a scientific advisor at Centerline Biomedical and a former Sr. Research Engineer at Cleveland Clinic, where they were the primary inventor of the Intra-Operative Positioning System (IOPS), a surgical navigation system designed to provide greater accuracy, reduce radiation exposure and shorten the procedure time that physicians encounter with the current fluoroscopic techniques in minimally-invasive vascular surgery.

Eagleton began their career at Cleveland Clinic in October 2005 as a research engineer and was promoted to Sr. Research Engineer in January 2014. In this role, they led a biomedical engineering team of software developers, mechanical engineers and biomedical engineers through the product development process for the IOPS. Matthew also worked closely with the Cleveland Clinic to launch the spin-off company, Centerline Biomedical, where they served as primary consultant to the CEO, pitched to investors, secured funding, assisted with the business plan and managed contractor projects.

Some of Eagleton's key accomplishments include designing, prototyping and testing IOPS technology; inventing and developing a computerized system to generate patient-specific models of vascular geometry from medical scans; and developing and designing software and hardware comprising a computing platform for surgical navigation. Matthew has also observed live surgical endovascular and cardiothoracic cases and collaborated on the design of medical devices for use in endovascular surgery including stents, stent-grafts, balloons, catheters and percutaneous delivery systems.
