About
Iain D. C. Tullis is a pioneering researcher in molecularly targeted intraoperative imaging, with a primary focus on advancing fluorescence-guided surgery for prostate cancer. His work bridges the gap between preclinical molecular imaging and real-time surgical guidance, aiming to improve precision in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Tullis led the first-in-human study of the PSMA-targeted minibody IR800-IAB2M, demonstrating its safety and feasibility for intraoperative fluorescence guidance—a landmark contribution that has already garnered 18 citations since its 2024 publication. This work builds on his earlier foundational studies (2021, 7 citations) showing how fluorescence guidance can enhance surgical outcomes by enabling real-time visualization of prostate tissue and critical structures. By integrating targeted molecular probes with robotic surgical platforms, Tullis is helping to define a new standard for precision oncology surgery. His research not only advances surgical technique but also holds promise for reducing positive surgical margins and preserving functional outcomes. For students and researchers, Tullis exemplifies how molecular imaging can be translated directly into the operating room, turning diagnostic biomarkers into actionable surgical tools.
