Jennifer Prescher, PhD

Dr. Jennifer Prescher is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Irvine. Her research team is crafting novel probes to "spy" on cells and decipher their communications in vivo. Cellular networks drive diverse aspects of human biology, ranging from immune function to memory formation. Breakdowns in these networks also underlie numerous pathologies. While cell-cell interactions play key roles in human health and disease, the mechanisms by which cells transact information in vivo are not completely understood. The Prescher lab is designing and deploying custom tools to visualize cellular networks in real time—and with molecular precision—in physiologically relevant environments.
