Cellular and Molecular Imaging Lab
Our general interest focuses on the development of molecular probes that are able to monitor specific biological processes under physiological settings. We are combining synthetic and physical organic chemistry, radiochemistry, and molecular biology together with imaging techniques such as fluorescence microscopy and positron emission tomography (PET). Current ongoing projects are:
- developing a multimodality (optical and microPET) reporter gene for imaging gene expression;
- visualizing RNA splicing activity in vivo;
- imaging endogenous gene expression;
- imaging kinase function in vivo.
