  As a postdoc, my research interest is in applying chemical tools and state of the art in vivo imaging to investigate neuro-glia interactions in the normal and the diseased brain. Currently, I’m working on screening of fluorescent dyes for in vivo brain imaging and identification of dyes transport mechanism in vivo. This project will improve our understanding of molecular transport mechanisms across the blood-brain barrier and may transform the ability to selectively image and pharmacologically… Show more As a postdoc, my research interest is in applying chemical tools and state of the art in vivo imaging to investigate neuro-glia interactions in the normal and the diseased brain.
