About
Jean Gudas is a pioneering translational researcher whose work bridges molecular imaging and surgical oncology, with a primary focus on prostate cancer. Her key research areas include the development of targeted molecular probes for intraoperative fluorescence guidance, particularly using prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) as a biomarker. Gudas’s major contribution is the first-in-human study of the PSMA Minibody IR800-IAB2M, a novel humanised antibody fragment conjugated to a near-infrared fluorophore, designed to enable real-time visualisation of cancerous tissue during radical prostatectomy. This groundbreaking work, published in 2024 and already accumulating 18 citations, demonstrates her ability to translate complex molecular targeting into practical surgical tools that could reduce positive surgical margins and improve patient outcomes. By integrating preclinical development with clinical application, Gudas has positioned herself at the forefront of image-guided surgery, offering surgeons unprecedented molecular precision. Her achievements highlight the potential of theranostic approaches in urologic oncology, and her ongoing research continues to shape how fluorescence-guided surgery is implemented in the operating room, making her a key figure in the evolution of personalised cancer surgery.
