About
Dorina Gui is a rising leader in biomedical optics and surgical oncology, specializing in intraoperative imaging for head and neck cancer. Her research centers on fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm), a label-free optical technique that distinguishes malignant from healthy tissue in real time. Gui’s seminal 2022 study demonstrated FLIm’s ability to delineate p16+ oropharyngeal carcinoma of unknown primary origin, achieving 27 citations and establishing a new paradigm for tumor localization during transoral robotic surgery. She further advanced the field with an anatomy-specific classification model (2023, 17 citations) that improves surgical guidance by accounting for tissue heterogeneity, and validated FLIm for detecting residual cancer in the surgical cavity (2023, 3 citations). Collectively, her work addresses a critical gap in head and neck oncology—ensuring complete tumor resection while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Gui’s contributions have been recognized for their translational potential, bridging bench-top fluorescence lifetime physics to bedside surgical decision-making. Her ongoing efforts promise to reduce recurrence rates and improve outcomes for patients with challenging head and neck cancers.
