My dissertation research project involves the design and synthesis of novel targeted fluorescent probes for live cell imaging. I have made excellent progress on the synthesis and characterization of new fluorescent triazaborolopyridinium-imaging probes, and the development of a new bioorthogonal methodology for the labeling of unsaturated membrane lipids in living cells. During this project I used different instrumets like FT-ICRMS, Confocal microscopy, NMR, IR and UV-Fluorimeter. My project has laid the foundation for a proposal submitted to the NSF Chemical Measurement and Imaging (CMI) program which is granted effective since August 2015. I have completed a project focused on the deve...
