Dr. Ellen Sletten is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCLA, where her research focuses on leveraging the unique properties of fluorinated materials to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic nanotechnologies. Her lab is dedicated to exploiting the orthogonality of fluorous phases to prepare multifunctional nanomaterials tailored for the personalized treatment of patients with cancer. Additionally, she works on creating contrast agents for the shortwave infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, enhancing the penetration of light in tissue for improved imaging. This research area is crucial for developing low-cost, safe, and rapid diagnostic methods for cancer, as well as advancing image-guided tumor resection techniques.
Department of Economics admits primarily for the PhD program.
