About
Nina Ogrinc is a pioneering researcher in the field of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), with a focus on developing innovative methods for real-time, in vivo analysis. Her key research areas include ambient ionization techniques, robotic-assisted instrumentation, and clinical applications of MSI. Ogrinc’s major contribution is the development of the "Robot-Assisted SpiderMass" system, which couples a robotic arm with SpiderMass technology to enable non-destructive, real-time topography MSI directly on living tissues—a significant leap from conventional ex vivo tissue section analysis. This breakthrough allows for molecular mapping of surfaces with high spatial resolution, opening new avenues for surgical guidance and biomedical diagnostics. Her most-cited work (47 citations) demonstrates the method’s potential for in vivo applications, while a related 2020 paper further refines the approach. Ogrinc’s achievements highlight her role in advancing MSI from the lab bench to clinical settings, offering a transformative tool for real-time tissue characterization. Her work is notable for bridging engineering and biology, making her a key figure in the evolution of intraoperative molecular imaging.
