About
Dr. Aidan Cousins is pioneering the next generation of cancer staging through innovative multimodal imaging and robotic surgery. His research centers on sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), with a particular focus on developing and validating novel tracers that combine magnetic nanoparticles with fluorescent dyes for real-time, dual-modality guidance. In his highly cited 2023 study, Dr. Cousins demonstrated the preclinical feasibility of using mannose-labelled magnetic nanoparticles and indocyanine green for sentinel node localization in gastric cancer, a critical step toward improving the safety and accuracy of D2 gastrectomies. His 2022 work further established the preclinical groundwork for robot-assisted SLNB in the head and neck, showcasing how magnetic and fluorescence guidance can be integrated into a single-incision robotic approach to access multiple neck levels. These contributions, while early in their citation impact, represent foundational advances in precision oncology, directly addressing the technical challenges of complex lymphadenectomies. Dr. Cousins’ work is poised to reduce surgical morbidity and improve pathologic staging, making him a rising leader in the field of image-guided surgical oncology.
