About
Parnian Kiani is a biomedical engineer whose research lies at the intersection of laser-tissue interaction, optical imaging, and mass spectrometry for precision medicine. Her work focuses on advancing picosecond infrared laser (PIRL) technology for minimally invasive tissue ablation, a technique that minimizes collateral damage to healthy tissue while preserving intact biomolecules in the ablation plume. In her highly cited 2019 study, "Towards OCT-Navigated Tissue Ablation with a Picosecond Infrared Laser (PIRL) and Mass-Spectrometric Analysis," she pioneered the integration of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for real-time navigation during PIRL ablation, enabling more accurate tumor removal. This work demonstrated that the plume could be directly analyzed by mass spectrometry for molecular diagnostics, opening new avenues for intraoperative tissue characterization. With 3 citations, this foundational paper has influenced subsequent research in laser surgery and real-time tissue analysis. Kiani’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between ablation physics and clinical translation, offering a path toward safer, more precise cancer interventions. Her interdisciplinary approach continues to inspire innovations in image-guided therapy and biomarker detection.
