Karson S. Putt's work sits at the intersection of chemistry and biology, focusing on developing small molecules and imaging agents for medical and research applications, such as fluorescent probes to help surgeons avoid damaging the ureter during operations, and screening methods to find drug candidates including compounds relevant to cancer and possibly space-radiation research. The work also involves synthesizing chemical substrates and data resources that support drug-discovery efforts, including projects related to Alzheimer's disease drug targets.
