Welcome to the Rao Lab
Our main research focus is to design, synthesize and evaluate novel molecular probes for imaging or manipulating targeted biomolecules in normal and diseased states. New projects often begin by identifying an important molecular target and then designing specific probes for that target. Next we evaluate new probes by performing cellular and in vivo imaging experiments. |
Welcoming new members!
We are excited to welcome our new postdoc Xianchuang from Nanjing University! More » Positions Available.
Outstanding synthetic organic chemists and molecular and cellular biologists are welcome to apply for postdoctoral positions. Chemistry candidates must have a Ph.D. in organic or medicinal chemistry with experience in multi-step synthesis, and biology candidates must have a Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, or related discipline. All candidates are expected to possess good written and verbal communication skills. Previous experience with in vivo imaging research is a plus. Interested candidates should read more on our research . More » As always, Stanford graduate students are encouraged to contact Prof. Rao directly. |
