  Design and conduct biochemistry and chemical biology experiments for developing high dynamic-range Lanthanide-based FRET biosensors for microscopic imaging and high throughput screening at Dr. Lawrence Miller’s lab. Specific Accomplishments:• Develop a library of high dynamic-range lanthanide-based FRET biosensors of Rac1• Optimize the application of these sensors in detecting Rac1 inhibitors in a cell-basedmultiwell TR-FRET assay• Optimize the cellular uptake of lanthanide probes with cell-penetrating peptide and imagethe probes and the biosensors with time-gated microscopy Show less

  In this project, we try to understand the complex undulatory swimming patterns of Zebrafish by analyzing quantitatively the fish swimming and developing the fish locomotion models using NEURON software (Dr. Martin Gruebele's lab).
