About
Dr. Stephanie A. Montgomery is a pioneering biomedical engineer and translational researcher whose work bridges preclinical imaging and surgical decision-making. Her primary research areas include shear wave elastography (SWE) for noninvasive liver disease assessment and the development of clinical management algorithms for acute surgical conditions. Dr. Montgomery’s most significant contribution is the development of a robotic SWE system that adapts clinical ultrasound-based stiffness quantification for murine models of liver fibrosis, enabling high-throughput, noninvasive staging of liver disease progression. This innovation addresses a critical gap in preclinical drug development, allowing researchers to track fibrosis without sacrificing animals. Her work has garnered attention, with her flagship 2022 paper accumulating 16 citations and establishing a new standard for translational liver research. Additionally, Dr. Montgomery has contributed to surgical safety through a 2025 management algorithm for high-grade acute cholecystitis in high-risk patients, offering evidence-based guidance to reduce complications like bile duct injury. Her dual expertise in engineering and clinical practice positions her as a leader in advancing both noninvasive diagnostics and surgical protocols, with lasting impact on preclinical and patient care settings.
