Nanosensor Platforms for the Study of Cellular Signalling

Principal Investigator Michael Strano


Intra- and inter-cellular signaling pathways often involve chemical fluxes that are too small to detect using conventional assays and instrumentation. The Strano laboratory designs and synthesizes fluorescent nanosensors capable of listening to these signals, even at the single molecule level. Our work focuses on the synthesis and mathematical analysis of these analytical platforms to solve biological problems.
