Research Interests
The Lippert laboratory designs and synthesizes smart organic molecules that switch their luminescent properties in response to a range of stimuli. The molecules are used to image biological chemistry in living cells using fluorescence microscopy and in living animals using small molecule chemiluminescent imaging. We collaborate under the aegis of an NSF award.

Research Interests
One of the first researchers in the world to use specialized treatment techniques developed for brain tumors to treat cancer in the body. That technique is currently known as stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) or, alternatively, as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
