About
Audrey Laurence is a pioneering biomedical engineer whose research focuses on developing multimodal optical imaging systems for intraoperative tissue assessment. Her major contribution lies in the integration of endogenous fluorescence spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) to enable attenuation-corrected, quantitative tissue characterization. In her most cited work (2020, 6 citations), she designed a wide-field system that combines these modalities with surface profilometry, allowing for the first time the correction of tissue optical properties during fluorescence imaging of radical prostatectomy specimens. This innovation directly addresses a critical challenge in surgical oncology: distinguishing malignant from benign tissue in real time. Laurence’s approach enhances the specificity of intrinsic fluorescence signals by accounting for light scattering and absorption, paving the way for more accurate surgical guidance. Her work has been recognized for its translational potential in improving prostate cancer surgery outcomes, and she continues to advance the field of biophotonics with a focus on clinical integration.
