Vanderbilt Investigators Develop Integrated Molecular Imaging

Caption

James Cassat, MD, PhD, left, Jessica Moore, PhD, Eric Skaar, PhD, and Richard Caprioli, PhD, are combining multiple imaging approaches to study the molecules involved in invasive staph infections. Behind the investigators is an imaging mass spectrometry image of mouse kidney infected with Staphylococcus aureus. Each color represents a unique protein species, and each protein has a unique spatial distribution within tissue.
