About

Joshua Pace is a biomedical engineer whose research focuses on advancing fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) for cancer treatment, with a particular emphasis on prostate cancer imaging. His most-cited work, "Engineering NIR Probes to Enhance Affinity and Clinical Workflow Compatibility for Prostate Cancer Imaging" (2025, 2 citations), addresses a critical clinical challenge: positive surgical margins following radical prostatectomy, which elevate the risk of biochemical recurrence. Pace’s major contribution lies in designing near-infrared (NIR) probes with enhanced affinity for prostate cancer targets, aiming to improve intraoperative visualization and ensure complete tumor resection. By engineering these probes for better clinical workflow compatibility, he bridges the gap between laboratory innovation and operating room application. Though early in his career, his work holds significant promise for reducing recurrence rates and improving patient outcomes. Pace’s research underscores the transformative potential of targeted contrast agents in FGS, building on proven benefits in other cancers. His efforts represent a vital step toward more precise, real-time surgical guidance, positioning him as an emerging leader in the field of cancer imaging and surgical oncology.
