Dr. Manu Jain is an Assistant Attending and an optical imaging specialist in the Department of Dermatology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). She has over 10 years of experience working in the field of optical imaging (i.e., in vivo/ex vivo microscopy) that includes technologies such as reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM), multiphoton microscopy (MPM), and optical coherence tomography (OCT). At MSKCC, Dr. Jain is leading the clinical, research, and teaching program for RCM in dermatology. She also collaborates with a team of engineers and computational analysts for computer-aided diagnosis of confocal images of skin. She is the Vice President of American Confocal Group and Past-Secretary of the International Tele-Dermatology Society (ITDS). She also created and directs the Annual CME accredited Confocal Course at MSK. Dr. Jain has published many peer-reviewed articles in reputed journals and co-authored several book chapters. She has been an invited speaker at multiple national and international meetings.Dr. Anthony Rossi is a dermatologist who specializes in Mohs micrographic surgery specialist in the Department of Dermatology at MSKCC. He has significant experience in using reflectance confocal microscopy to help delineate borders of lentigo maligna melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers prior to surgery, and is working on research to expand the application of this technology to other aspects of skin cancer management. Dr. Rossi has published numerous journal articles and book chapters and has received presidential service awards from the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, as well as the American Society for Lasers in Surgery and Medicine.

Dr. Kishwer Nehal the Director of Mohs and Dermatologic Surgery in the Department of Dermatology at MSKCC. She conducts clinical research on noninvasive imaging techniques, such as confocal microscopy and has published
