Bret Flanders

Dr. Bret Flanders is a Research Professor in the Department of Physics at Kansas State University, specializing in the development of nano-fiber-based surgical tools for cell-level cancer interventions. His work focuses on creating nano-scalpels and nano-curettes with diameters smaller than individual cells to enable precise excision of tumors and cancerous tissue at the sub-millimeter scale, particularly targeting melanoma removal in skin cancer applications.

Research Interests:

• Nano-scale surgical instrumentation
• Biophysics of cellular-level tissue manipulation
• Nanotechnology applications in oncology
• Biomedical device engineering
