About
Borivoj Vojnovic is a pioneering researcher in molecularly targeted intraoperative imaging for prostate cancer surgery. His key research areas include fluorescence-guided surgery, PSMA-targeted molecular imaging, and the translation of novel optical contrast agents from bench to bedside. Vojnovic’s major contribution is the development and first-in-human evaluation of the PSMA Minibody IR800-IAB2M, a humanised antibody fragment conjugated to a near-infrared fluorophore. This work, published in 2024 with 18 citations, demonstrated the feasibility of real-time, molecularly specific fluorescence guidance during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, enabling surgeons to visualize microscopic tumour deposits that are invisible to the naked eye. His 2021 study on intraoperative fluorescence enhancement further established the clinical utility of this approach, showing improved precision in tissue resection while preserving critical structures like the neurovascular bundle. With a cumulative impact spanning surgical oncology and biomedical optics, Vojnovic’s translational research bridges the gap between molecular diagnostics and operative practice, offering a pathway to reduce positive surgical margins and improve oncologic outcomes. His work represents a significant step toward personalized, image-guided cancer surgery.
