Research Interests – Smart Molecules for Imaging, Targeting, and Health (SMITH)
The work in this laboratory is multidisciplinary and encompasses organic synthesis, molecular design, biophysical methods, fluorescence microscopy, and animal imaging. As a result, the students receive broad training and the individual research topics are quite varied. Current topics include:
-
Fluorescent and Chemiluminescent Probes for Animal and Cell Imaging
-
Optical Imaging of Bacteria
-
Optical Imaging of Cancer
-
Membrane Biophysics
-
Squaraine-Rotaxanes as Novel Near-IR Dyes
-
Unusual Interlocked Molecules
-
Molecular Machines
Research Group
Generally, the research group numbers around ten people and always includes some undergraduates and postdocs.
