Luke Lavis received his BS in Chemistry in 2000 from Oregon State University where he performed synthetic organic chemistry research in the laboratory of James White. After a four-year stint in industrial R&D at Molecular Probes and Molecular Devices, Luke joined Ronald Raines's laboratory at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, designing and building novel fluorescent dyes to image biomolecular trafficking in living cells. He received this PhD in 2008 and then moved to Janelia. At Janelia, Luke has been focused on developing novel small-molecule fluorophores that enable advanced imaging experiments in cells, tissue, and animals.
