About

Sushmita Mukherjee is a pioneering biomedical researcher whose work centers on the application of multiphoton microscopy to surgical oncology and urological disorders. Her major contributions lie in developing advanced optical imaging techniques to visualize tissue structures at the cellular level without the need for exogenous dyes, enabling real-time surgical guidance. Her landmark 2011 study on multiphoton microscopy for structure identification in human prostate and periprostatic tissue (69 citations) demonstrated how this technology can improve nerve-sparing prostate cancer surgery by distinguishing cancerous glands from critical nerves and sphincters. This work, classified as Level 2b diagnostic evidence, directly addresses the challenge of balancing complete tumor removal with preservation of sexual function and continence. In a parallel innovative study (18 citations), Mukherjee explored multiphoton imaging and laser ablation of rodent spermatic cord nerves as a potential treatment for chronic orchialgia, showing that the technique could precisely identify and ablate nerve fibers invisible under standard microscopes. Her research exemplifies the translation of cutting-edge photonics into practical surgical tools, offering hope for more precise, less invasive procedures. Mukherjee’s work continues to inspire new approaches in image-guided surgery and targeted nerve ablation.
