研究领域
Research Interests
Research in the Rao lab uses physical, chemical and biological tools to develop novel imaging strategies. We develop new molecular probes to monitor specific biological targets under physiological settings, and in general our projects fit into one or more of the following three interconnected lines.
1. Enzyme activity-based in vivo imaging
2. In vivo protein and RNA labeling
3. New sensing and imaging technologies
