Welcome to the Gibbs Lab
Our research is focused on developing optimized imaging reagents to expand the capabilities of macroscopic and microscopic cancer imaging. This includes the development of fluorescence imaging for image-guided surgery, multicolor microscopy methods, and personalized therapy technologies to visualize and characterize cancer from the operating room to the single-cell level.

Jun 2024 - Dr. McMahon's paper, 'In situ single-cell therapeutic response imaging facilitated by the TRIPODD fluorescence imaging platform,' is featured on the cover of Theranostics.
Apr 2024 - We report our TRIPOD technology with the capability of evaluating therapeutic response imaging to molecularly targeted treatment as it relates to signaling inhibition, drug target availability (DTA), proliferation, and apoptosis with preserved spatial context. This paper is in press in Theranostics. Congratulations to everyone on the TRIPODD and iPAI project team! Read more about this exciting technology here.
Mar 2023 - Today we report in Nature Chemistry on our fluorophore development work for quantitative imaging applications. We can now use OregonFluor-labeled therapeutics to validate drug targets and quantify drug target availability in live cells and tissues. Read more.
