About
Daan G. J. Linders is a pioneering researcher in molecular imaging and surgical oncology, with a primary focus on fluorescence-guided surgery for prostate cancer. His work centers on developing targeted imaging agents that enable real-time visualization of cancerous tissue during surgery, improving precision and patient outcomes. Linders' most notable contribution is his leadership in the first-in-patient study of OTL78, a fluorescent tracer targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). Published in 2023, this phase 2a feasibility trial demonstrated the safety and efficacy of intraoperative fluorescence imaging for PSMA-positive prostate cancer, achieving 54 citations and establishing a new paradigm for surgical guidance. His research bridges preclinical development and clinical translation, directly impacting surgical decision-making and reducing positive margin rates. Linders' work has been recognized for its translational potential, earning him a reputation as a key figure in the emerging field of theranostic surgery. By integrating molecular imaging with operative techniques, he is helping to define the future of precision oncology.
