Research Description
The Marriott lab conducts technology-driven research?at the interface of bioengineering, chemistry, biophysics, nanotechnology and chemical biology. These studies are advanced through his long-standing interest in the synthesis and application of optical probes and sensors for high sensitive detection and imaging of proteins in living cells, at-home diagnostics and wearable devices. He has published extensively?on?microscopy techniques to measure absolute parameters of fluorescence emission, and for high-contrast imaging in high-background environments, including?optical lock-in detection microscopy (OLID).??
?Current interests include:
?Optical probes and sensors
Molecular actuators
Smart biomaterials
Wearable devices
Drug delivery systems
Microscopy and?in vivo imaging
