My laboratory is interested in developing and applying chemical biology methods for the study, imaging, and treatment of cancer. Our overall goals are to develop detectable, trackable platforms that we can use to visualize biological phenomena, and generate scaffolds to perturb and probe those systems using chemical strategies.
