Bio – The Amelio Lab is an interdisciplinary group of basic scientists and clinical researchers with intersecting interests in model systems of cancer, and basic and translational cancer research with a focus on oral, head and neck tumors. Part of the lab is directed at designing and engineering custom bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET)-based tools (“LumiFluors”) to visualize various aspects of tumorigenesis in real time and within physiologically relevant contexts.
