Research Interests

Development of quantum technologies for biological sciences.
DNA damage induction by multiphoton process in live cells to mimic the effects of ionising radiation and subsequent repair studies by fluorescent protein detection.
Characteristics of mTOR signalling using advanced imaging, spectroscopy and time resolved.
Optical proteomics technology: Development of advanced microscopy including multiphoton microscopy, fluorescence anisotropy imaging, phosphorescence (PLIM) and Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) for detection of small biomolecules in cells and protein-protein interactions.

Current work

Stan joined the LSF group within the CLF department in 1998 as the Laser Microscopy and Imaging Facility Manager and Biosciences Lead. His research has centred on the development and scientific application of lasers to biology and medicine. He has developed novel laser applications including an ultrafast laser microbeam for cellular DNA damage and repair studies, advanced imaging instrumentation and spectroscopy including Multiphoton Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM), the development of new probes for cellular imaging, studies on cancer protein interactions and a principal and co-investigator on several Research Council Grants as well as several patents and licences granted to CRUK- Ximbio. He has over 160 peer-reviewed publications.
