🙏Thank you to the GW Association of Chemistry Graduate Students (ACGS) for making it extra special!🙏

Interns are D.C. area high school students from communities underrepresented in STEM. Interns receive resources to achieve their ultimate goal of attending college.

You can get step-by-step instructions on how we evolve fluorescent proteins in bacteria & purify large amounts of smURFP!

🔊The small Ultra-Red Fluorescent Protein (smURFP) allows imaging of macromolecule delivery by ultrasound!🔊

smURFP fluorescence survives ultrasound & fixation to image ultrasound delivery into the cornea.

🥂An excellent collaboration with Vesna Zderic's laboratory in the GW Department of Biomedical Engineering!

Did you know 90% of cancer patients die of metastatic cancer or cancer that has moved to a location different from the initial tumor?

Meet Erik A. Rodriguez, whose laboratory has developed tools to image single molecules to human disease. Their research includes the development of dual-modality, positron emission tomography (PET) and fluorescence, probes for imaging metastatic cancer in humans.
