Mahadevan-Jansen develops applications of optical techniques for diagnosis of pathology. Her primary research investigates the applications of optical spectroscopies and imaging for cancer diagnosis and guidance of therapy. She discovered a unique, natural fluorescent signature to parathyroid glands, which allows a simple and reliable optical detector to positively identify the glands during endocrine surgery. This discovery was reported in the July 2011 issue of the Journal of Biomedical Optics.
