Dr. Salvatore Marras co-developed molecular beacons, one of the first fluorescent nucleic acid hybridization probe technologies. These probes are used for the real-time monitoring of nucleic acid amplification assays, such
Faculty Profile Publications
Our group develops new platform technologies for cell and gene therapy. To this end, we converge knowledge and techniques of cell/gene/tissue engineering, drug delivery, biomaterials, micro/macro-fluidic bioreactors, transport phenomena, chemical
My laboratory is studying the molecular basis of pathogenesis of bacterial species, Borrelia burgdorferi, Treponema pallidum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These clinically important bacterial pathogens are transmitted to humans using different
The research in my laboratory is focused on understanding the functions and mechanisms of enzymes involved in genome replication and transcription. We use among various methods transient state kinetics (rapid
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains the most lethal gynecological malignancy in the United States. Implementing immunotherapeutic approaches to treat this disease holds promise, as the ovarian cancer microenvironment is immunologically
