Kenneth Rankin

Dr. Kenneth Rankin is a researcher at Newcastle University, focusing on orthopedic oncology and surgical imaging for bone and soft tissue tumors. His work spans sarcoma diagnostics, intraoperative fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green (ICG), and molecular targeting of tumor-associated proteins like DR5 and MT1-MMP.

• Key collaborations with clinicians and scientists (Drs. Corey Chan, Marcus Brookes, and colleagues) highlight his interdisciplinary approach.
• His research bridges preclinical studies and clinical cohort analyses, including investigations into metastatic pathways and implant-related infections.

Recent publications emphasize multimodal imaging techniques (PET/NIRF, Cerenkov luminescence) and biomarker discovery for sarcomas. His work also addresses surgical outcomes in osteosarcoma and soft tissue sarcomas, including margin analysis and local recurrence prevention.
