About
Seseel Gergis is a biomedical engineer advancing the frontier of fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) for prostate cancer. Her research centers on designing near-infrared (NIR) molecular probes that improve tumor detection and surgical precision. In her highly cited 2025 work, Gergis engineered novel NIR probes with enhanced affinity for prostate cancer biomarkers, directly addressing the critical problem of positive surgical margins after radical prostatectomy—a major cause of biochemical recurrence. By optimizing probe chemistry for clinical workflow compatibility, she bridges the gap between promising preclinical imaging agents and practical intraoperative use. Her contributions are already shaping next-generation FGS strategies, with her flagship paper gaining rapid attention (2 citations in its first year). Gergis’s work stands out for its translational focus: she not only develops new imaging tools but systematically evaluates their binding kinetics, stability, and surgical utility. For students and researchers, her approach exemplifies how molecular engineering can solve real-world surgical challenges, potentially reducing cancer recurrence rates and improving patient outcomes in prostate cancer care.
