Research Focus
Andrew Smith’s research focuses on developing new technologies to image and analyze molecular changes in cancer cells and tissue during carcinogenesis and therapy. His lab develops light-emitting nanocrystals for quantitative imaging of abnormally regulated molecular pathways in living cancer cells and clinical tissue specimens. A major goal is to use these technologies as clinical molecular pathology and cytology tests, serving as companion diagnostics for personalized therapeutic regimens.
