Dr. Matt Hernandez received his MD/PhD from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) in New York City. His graduate work focused on viral-host interactions and tracing HIV evolution in vivo using genomic tools. During his training, he applied his skills to the clinical laboratory and helped found the ISMMS Personalized Virology Initiative.

Talk Title: Analog electro-optical readout of SiPMs for compact, low power ToF PET/MRI
Event: 3rd PET/MR and SPECT/MR Conference: Paradigms for Combined Modalities in Molecular Imaging
The Bogyo Lab is interested in developing and applying chemical tools to both image and dissect the functional roles of hydrolases in a number of human health conditions. They are currently using synthetic chemistry and biological display methods to build new covalent binding probes that allow enzyme activity to be selectively inhibited as well as imaged in complex biological samples including cells, tissues and whole organisms. The Bogyo lab is specifically interested in hydrolase enzymes important for cell signaling and pathogenesis in cancer and various microbes including S.
