Loren Looger

Loren Looger is a Professor of Neurosciences and HHMI Investigator at UC San Diego. He has >25 years experience in making fluorescent biosensors, and has made many of the sensors in wide use across neuroscience and other biological disciplines. Although his sensors are mostly used in animals and their cells, they work well in bacteria and indeed, his lab has imaged many of them in bacteria and other microbes, visualizing carbon metabolism and flux through specific transporters, for instance. His lab also has extensive expertise in scraping genomes for targeting peptides and similar features.
