I'll be working on developing a new class of probes for
in vivo receptor
imaging consisting of bioluminescent proteins fused to
receptor ligands.
Preliminary work has focused on optimizing the bioluminescent
proteins for this purpose through rational and random
mutagenesis approaches. Work is currently ongoing to develop
the ligand/bioluminescent fusion proteins and to validate
them both in vitro and in vivo. |
