Andy’s research focused on developing a new class of probes for in vivo receptor imaging consisting of  bioluminescent proteins fused to receptor ligands. Preliminary work had focused on optimizing the bioluminescent proteins for this purpose through rational and random mutagenesis approaches. Work was then ongoing to develop the ligand/bioluminescent fusion proteins and to validate them both in vitro and in vivo.
