About
Dr. Mackenzie Devereux is a rising leader in biomedical engineering and molecular imaging, with a focused expertise in developing next-generation fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) technologies for cancer treatment. Her primary research areas include the rational design of near-infrared (NIR) contrast agents, targeted molecular probes for intraoperative imaging, and the clinical translation of optical imaging tools to improve surgical oncology outcomes. Devereux’s most notable contribution is her pioneering work on engineering high-affinity NIR probes specifically optimized for prostate cancer imaging, addressing the critical challenge of positive surgical margins during radical prostatectomy. Her 2025 study on this topic, already garnering early citations, demonstrates a novel approach to enhancing both binding affinity and clinical workflow compatibility—a significant step toward real-time, tumor-specific visualization during surgery. This work holds the potential to reduce biochemical recurrence rates and improve patient prognosis. With a rapidly growing citation impact, Devereux is establishing herself as a translational scientist at the intersection of chemistry, imaging physics, and surgical practice, driving innovations that bridge the gap between laboratory discovery and the operating room.
