The ability to monitor arbitrary molecules in situ in the body as we undergo normal daily routines could empower us to make educated decisions regarding our diet, fitness, medical treatments and overall health status. Our laboratory pursues this vision by developing biology-inspired electrochemical sensors that support real-time, continuous measurements of a wide range of physiologically-important molecules in vivo. Our research blends chemistry with engineering, biophysics and pharmacology to, for example, study factors involved in the recognition of small-molecule targets by nucleic acid- or peptide-based receptors, develop metabolism-responsive drug delivery approaches, and produce diagnostic platforms for personalized health care. We pursue these goals in an environment that nurtures creativity, inclusivity of ideas, and innovation.

Santa Barbara, California Area

Currently working on aptamer-based electrochemical sensors for the detection of analytes in whole blood and living brains.Also working on the study of folding dynamics of metalloproteins attached to gold surfaces.

California Nanosystems Institute - Incubator Lab Space And Offices

I provided technical feedback and general guidance to the startup Milo. My goal was to help Milo develop the first reliable and socially convenient blood alcohol sensor with smartphone output to the market. At the time I stepped down from my role as scientific advisor, Milo had a working wearable prototype.
