Qalisya Binti Yahya

Qalisya Binti Yahya serves as an Honorary Clinical Fellow (Teaching) in Undergraduate Medicine, specializing in pediatric neurosurgery and medical education. Her academic profile indicates active engagement in both clinical research and undergraduate teaching.

Research interests focus intensely on fluorescence-guided surgical techniques for pediatric brain tumors, particularly exploring 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) applications and alternative fluorophores. Her work addresses critical challenges in intraoperative tumor visualization for high-grade gliomas, with significant contributions to understanding fluorescence patterns and surgical outcomes. The research fingerprint analysis confirms deep specialization in neuro-oncology visualization methods while maintaining strong connections to medical education pedagogy.

Her publication record features a high-impact December 2025 systematic review in Child's Nervous System examining 5-ALA efficacy in pediatric contexts, which has already generated measurable scholarly attention with 2 Scopus citations. International collaboration networks span multiple countries, suggesting participation in global research initiatives despite the honorary nature of her position. The teaching fellowship indicates substantial commitment to training future physicians through evidence-based surgical education methodologies.

As an early-career Medical Educator, Dr. Yahya bridges clinical neurosurgery practice with academic development, offering students opportunities in systematic review methodology, translational neuro-oncology research, and curriculum design. Her work demonstrates how fluorescence visualization innovations can directly enhance both surgical precision and medical education quality in pediatric neurosurgery.
