Welcome to the Rao Lab
Our main research focus is to design, synthesize and evaluate novel molecular probes for imaging or manipulating targeted biomolecules in normal and diseased states. New projects often begin by identifying an important molecular target and then designing specific probes for that target. Next we evaluate new probes by performing cellular and in vivo imaging experiments. |
Welcoming new members!
We are very excited to welcome to the lab Dr. Nan Ma, Ph.D. as a new post-doctoral fellow. Dr. Ma brings his expertise applying quantum dots for in vivo imaging and cancer diagnostics from the University of Toronto, where he completed his thesis with Prof. Shana O. Kelly. More » Positions Available.
We currently seek outstanding postdoctoral candidates with experience in synthetic organic chemistry and an interest in cellular and in vivo applications of molecular imaging. More » As always, Stanford graduate students are encouraged to contact Prof. Rao directly. |
