<p><span>Daniel was a member of the Behbod laboratory from 2012 through the spring of 2013. The primary goal of Daniel's research utilizes novel imaging technology, Raman microspectroscopy (RM) in combination with flow cytometry to allow for accurate detection and characterization of cells with distinct intracellular molecular profiles (IMPs) in order to discern heretogeneous cells among an otherwise homogeneous population of tumor-initiating cells (TICs; Lin-CD24</span><sup>hi</sup><span>CD29</span><sup>hi</sup><span>). By performing this study, it is anticipated that future genomic and proteomic characterization of cells with distinct Raman profiles may be used to discover signaling pathways or genes contributing to increased tumorigenic capacity.</span></p>
