The Ahrens laboratory develops unique molecular and cellular MRI probes to visualize gene expression and immune cell trafficking in vivo. Faculty Webpage
Bruce T. Armitage
Affiliated Biological Sciences Faculty
As part of the Molecular Biosensors and Imaging Center (MBIC), the Armitage group is developing fluorescent biosensors for detecting nucleic acid and protein targets inside of cells or in biological samples. Faculty Webpage
Peter B. Berget
Associate Professor
The Berget group is customizing single-chain antibody fragments (scFvs) that react with small molecule haptens. Through this "protein engineering" they are exploring the use of these scFvs as "biosensors" for specific reactions and pathways in mammalian cells. Faculty Webpage
Chien Ho
Professor
The Ho laboratory is interested in hemoglobin therapeutics and the design of novel recombinant hemoglobins as potential hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers; they also develop novel non-invasive MRI-based methodology to detect graft rejection following solid organ transplantation in animal models.

Jonathan W. Jarvik
Associate Professor
The Jarvik laboratory is developing tools that provide for rapid delivery and expression of naturally regulated genes that express reporter-tagged proteins in mammalian cells. Faculty Webpage
Frederick Lanni
Associate Professor
In the Lanni laboratory, timelapse and optical-sectioning microscopy are used for the study of cytoskeletal organization. Faculty Webpage
Aaron P. Mitchell
Professor
The Mitchell laboratory is developing new methodology to detect eukaryotic protein-protein interactions. Faculty Webpage
Manojkumar A. Puthenveedu
Assistant Professor
The Puthenveedu laboratory is interested in developing new probes and methodologies based on high-resolution microscopy to study receptor-mediated signaling in living cells. Faculty Webpage
Nathan N. Urban
Associate Professor
The Urban laboratory is working on the development of novel techniques for electrical and optical recording from single neurons and populations of neurons in vivo and in vitro. Faculty Webpage
Alan S. Waggoner
Professor
Research in the Waggoner group focuses on the development of fluorescence-based detection systems for biology and biotechnology. These include fluorescent probes and imaging microscopes for studying protein and nucleic acid regulatory pathways in living cells and tissues. Faculty Webpage
