Evan P.S. Pratt develops genetically encoded fluorescent sensors—molecular tools that light up to reveal levels of specific ions or metabolites inside living cells—and uses them to study calcium and potassium ion channel signaling in muscle and pancreatic beta cells, as well as tumor-related metabolites in brain cancer (glioma). This work combines cell biology, biosensor engineering, and disease-focused applications such as diabetes and cancer diagnostics.
