| Outline of Research at the Start |
Advances in microscopy and fluorescent probe technology have revolutionized medical and biological research by enabling the normally colorless world of the cell to be visualized in high resolution and with vivid colors. However, efforts to understand the mechanisms by which cellular metabolism changes in diseased states have been hampered by a lack of high-performance indicators. To better understand these mechanisms, we will use innovative directed protein evolution approaches to create indicators with large signal changes and colors ranging from the visible to the near-infrared.

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The goal of this project was to perform "Directed Evolution of a Palette of Optogenetic Indicators for Multiplexed Imaging of Cellular Metabolism" by using the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A). In this fiscal year, this grant enabled us to set up the laboratory for the study mentioned above. For example, we purchased a wide-field fluorescence microscopy, which Campbell lab is using to accelerate the development of a range of optogenetic indicators.
