Research Focus

Andrew Smith’s research focuses on the development of new technologies to image and analyze molecular changes in cancer cells and tissue during carcinogenesis and during 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 tests and cytology tests as companion diagnostics toward personalized therapeutic regimens.
