■        TITLE
Coloring outside the lines: Exploring new functions for fluorescent proteins 

■        ABSTRACT
My lab engineers fluorescent proteins to create new uses in sensing biological events in vivo. I will discuss recent work on an unusually bright orange-red fluorescent protein, the creation of a synthetic bioluminescent system with high output at red wavelenghts, and the use of this bioluminescent system to improve deep-tissue imaging in mammals. I will also present our latest research coupling light absorption by fluorescent proteins to the control of biochemical events.
