John E. Phay's research centers on surgery for thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal gland conditions, with a particular focus on improving how surgeons identify parathyroid glands during operations using fluorescence-based imaging techniques. His work also touches on thyroid cancer diagnosis, including how certain genetic mutations relate to cancer risk in thyroid nodules, and on surgical approaches to lymph node removal in thyroid cancer patients. This research aims to make endocrine surgery safer and more precise by giving surgeons better real-time visual tools during procedures.
