How can we use bioluminescence to probe biological processes?

 what we do_miller.png

  Work in our lab ranges from curiosity-driven basic science questions to the directed development and optimization of luciferases and luciferins for bioluminescence imaging in mice using adeno-associated virus (AAV) to deliver designer luciferase-based reporters to specific tissues.

  Our multi-disciplinary approach brings together the areas of synthetic organic chemistry, molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell biology, with translation into mouse models of disease.

 Who We Are_generic.png

We are a small and dedicated group of researchers who enjoy pursuing curiosity-based and application-driven projects.
