About
Dr. Emily Guo is a pioneering surgical oncologist whose work centers on intraoperative molecular imaging (IMI) and the fluorescence-guided detection of malignancies. Her major contribution lies in advancing the clinical application of targeted probes to improve the precision of cancer surgery. In her landmark study, Dr. Guo evaluated VGT-309, a quenched activity-based probe activated by cathepsins—enzymes overexpressed in cancer cells—to identify occult malignant tissue during robotic pulmonary resection using near-infrared light. This work, with 3 citations to date, demonstrates her role at the forefront of translating novel molecular imaging agents from bench to bedside. By enabling real-time visualization of otherwise undetectable tumor margins, her research promises to reduce recurrence rates and spare healthy tissue. Dr. Guo’s achievements highlight her as a rising leader in the integration of optical imaging and robotic surgery, offering a compelling glimpse into the future of more precise, patient-centered oncologic care.
