Chemical approaches to the study of cell signaling

Welcome to our lab, located on the 4th floor of Building 18 in the Chemistry Department at MIT. Our research is centered on the development of new imaging technologies, based on designed small molecules and proteins. We are creating tools for the visualization of protein trafficking, interactions, activity, and conformational changes. Specific projects relate to single-molecule imaging in cells, quantum dot engineering, and inter-cellular protein-protein interaction imaging. We are applying several of our reporter technologies to the study of synapse development and remodeling mechanisms. Our research is highly interdisciplinary, drawing from synthetic organic chemistry, biophysics, protein biochemistry, in vitro evolution, and fluorescence microscopy. To learn more...
