About
Dr. Stephen McGregor is a leading figure in the field of liquid biopsy and cancer diagnostics, with a primary focus on the detection and characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). His most impactful contribution came in 2008 with the development of an automated scanning fluorescence microscope for identifying CTCs in peripheral blood. This highly sensitive and specific method, detailed in his most-cited paper (116 citations), enabled the reliable enumeration of CTCs across prostate, colorectal, and ovarian cancer patients, while maintaining a clean baseline in healthy donors. This work established a critical technological foundation for non-invasive cancer monitoring. McGregor’s research has significantly advanced the clinical utility of CTCs as biomarkers for disease progression and treatment response. His achievements include pioneering automated imaging techniques that reduce manual labor and increase reproducibility, making liquid biopsy more accessible for routine clinical use.
