About

Serge Mordon is a pioneering biomedical engineer whose career has been defined by transformative innovations in laser medicine, particularly in dermatology and oncology. His most impactful contributions began with the development of robotized scanning laser handpieces for treating port wine stains and other vascular lesions. In his seminal 1988 and 1990 papers, Mordon introduced the Hexascan, a device that replaced slow, operator-dependent "point-by-point" techniques with rapid, homogeneous, and reproducible energy delivery—a breakthrough that has since become a clinical standard, earning over 100 combined citations. This work directly addressed the critical limitations of poor reproducibility and inhomogeneous treatment, dramatically improving outcomes for patients with angiodysplasias. Beyond dermatology, Mordon has made significant strides in neuro-oncology. His recent work on interstitial photodynamic therapy (iPDT) for glioblastomas (2021, 29 citations) outlines a standardized clinical procedure for treating these aggressive brain tumors, offering new hope where median survival remains just 15 months. Additionally, his creation of ProstAtlas, a digital morphologic atlas of the prostate (2011), demonstrates his versatility in applying imaging and computational tools to urological anatomy. With over 300 publications and a career spanning four decades, Mordon’s legacy lies in bridging engineering precision with clinical need, fundamentally advancing how lasers are used to treat both superficial and deep-seated diseases.
