Dr. Bruchez develops new approaches to paint living cells and organisms to reveal their
inner workings. He is a Professor of Chemistry and Biological Sciences at Carnegie Mellon
University, and Director of Molecular Biosensor and Imaging Center. Dr. Bruchez is
extending the limits of fluorescent microscopy and fluorescent probes, and is applying
these tools to the study of how protein synthesis, trafficking and degradation is
coordinated and regulated in biological systems, and using photochemical tools to
measure and manipulate biological processes in living organisms. He is also the founder of
Quantum Dot Corporation, co-founder of Sharp Edge Labs, and holds 30 patents. Dr.
Bruchez received a B.S. in chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a
Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley.
