    • University of Arizona, PhD - Molecular & Cellular Biology and Cancer Biology
  • Research Interest

    Dr. Morse’s research projects are focused on the identification and validation of cell-surface markers for cancer, discovery of ligands or antibodies specific for binding validated markers, and the development of targeted molecular imaging probes and nanoagents for the detection and treatment of cancer. The ultimate goal of this work is to translate novel probes into the clinic for use in cancer diagnosis and staging, intraoperative margin detection and the targeted delivery of therapy.
