Chemical and Synthetic Biology Research Theme Seminar
Speaker: Professor Kai Johnsson, Max Planck Institute for Medical Research
Title: Fluorescent and Bioluminescent Probes
Abstract: The topic of my presentation will be how a combination of protein engineering and synthetic chemistry can be exploited to generate fluorescent and bioluminescent probes for live-cell imaging.Specifically, I will review our attempts to introduce new fluorescent dyes and sensor proteins that permit to visualize biochemical activities in living cells with high spatial and temporal resolution. I will also discuss how these sensor proteins can be utilized for point-of-care therapeutic drug monitoring.
Academic Host: Dr Fabio Parmeggiani
This seminar will be held online.
