About
Dr. Gauri S. Malankar is a pioneering researcher in the field of biomedical imaging and cancer diagnostics, with a primary focus on engineering near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes for surgical guidance. Her major contributions center on developing targeted contrast agents that enhance the precision of fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS), particularly for prostate cancer. In her highly cited 2025 work, she addresses the critical challenge of positive surgical margins following radical prostatectomy by designing NIR probes with improved affinity and clinical workflow compatibility. This innovation directly tackles the risk of biochemical recurrence and disease progression, offering a transformative tool for real-time tumor visualization during surgery. With 2 citations in its first year, this paper signals growing recognition of her work's clinical potential. Dr. Malankar's research bridges the gap between molecular engineering and surgical oncology, aiming to improve patient outcomes through more complete tumor resection. Her achievements position her as a rising leader in theranostics, where her probes could one day become standard for intraoperative imaging, reducing recurrence rates and enhancing the precision of cancer care.
