Jungjoon Lee, Chemistry Graduate Student jkl22@stanford.edu Jungjoon's project selects RNA aptamers which activate quenched dyes using SELEX, Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment. Such aptamers may be useful as in vivo tags for RNAs. Jungjoon also enjoys playing sports and reading randomly selected books. Individual Profile |

Dr. Gaolin Liang, Ph.D., Post-doctoral Fellow gliang@stanford.edu My research project involves designing and synthesizing new probes which can smartly self-polymerize intracellularly or inside animals (often in mice) to detect enzyme activities in vitro and in vivo. This new strategy may result in new methods of imaging tumors and resolve multi-drug resistance. Individual Profile Personal Website |
