About
Irina Shlaifer is a neuroscientist specializing in translational neuroimaging and stereotaxic neurosurgery, with a particular focus on non-human primate models. Her most cited work, "Co-registration of Imaging Modalities (MRI, CT and PET) to Perform Frameless Stereotaxic Robotic Injections in the Common Marmoset" (2021, 13 citations), represents a significant methodological advancement in precision neuroscience. This paper demonstrates her expertise in integrating multimodal imaging—combining MRI, CT, and PET—to enable highly accurate, frameless robotic injections in marmosets, a critical model for studying brain disorders. Her contributions streamline stereotaxic procedures, reducing invasiveness while enhancing targeting precision, which has implications for both basic research and preclinical therapeutic delivery. Shlaifer’s work bridges engineering and neuroscience, offering a reproducible framework for others in the field. Though early in her career, her focus on refining translational tools underscores her potential to impact neurodegenerative disease research and neuropharmacology. Her citation record, while modest, reflects a niche but growing influence among specialists in primate neuroimaging and surgical robotics.
