Gerard Marriott

The Marriott lab conducts technology-driven research at the interface of bioengineering, chemistry, biophysics, nanotechnology and chemical biology. These studies are advanced through his long-standing interest in the synthesis and application of optical probes and sensors for high sensitive detection and imaging of proteins in living cells, at-home diagnostics and wearable devices. He has published extensively on microscopy techniques to measure absolute parameters of fluorescence emission, and for high-contrast imaging in high-background environments, including optical lock-in detection microscopy (OLID).  

​Current interests include:

​Optical probes and sensors

Molecular actuators

Smart biomaterials

Wearable devices

Drug delivery systems

Microscopy and in vivo imaging
