Thomas J. Meade Bioinorganic coordination chemistry, biological molecular imaging, transcription factor inhibitors, electronic biosensors

Research Interests

The Meade Lab research focuses on bioinorganic coordination chemistry in three subgroups:

  1. Molecular imaging of in vivo gene expression and intracellular messengers
  2. The development of inhibitors of Zinc-finger transcription factors
  3. Creating electronic biosensors for the detection of proteins and DNA
