Stanford researchers have developed mutant Renilla luciferase proteins and reporter gene constructs which modify the physical characteristics of the Renilla luciferase protein for use in biological assays.
Stanford researchers have developed a method which can simultaneously observe two positron emitting isotopes using two distinct molecular probes and a modified PET scanner. This system enables the simultaneous observation of two different molecular processes.
Transgenic mice carrying reporter genes are extremely useful tools in modern biomedical science to unravel various underlying molecular mechanisms crucial for normal development, as well as, disease progression.
Researchers in the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford have developed several novel small molecule agents designed to enhance photoacoustic imaging in living subjects.
Dr. Sanjiv Gambhir and colleagues have developed positron emission tomography (PET) tracers to clinically image bacterial infection. Despite significant developments in the microbiology of infection, bacterial infections remain a major health issue.
