M.D. (Hon)
University of Pennsylvania and the National University of Singapore
Professor Britton Chance, a biochemist and biophysicist, is the pioneer
of noninvasive detection of molecular redox conditions using optical
fluoresence techniques. He invented the dual-wavelength spectrophotometer
that allowed studies of the oxidative phosphorylation biochemistry
particularly relative to mitochondrial function. His career has been
dedicated to teaching and innovations ranging from microwave (World
War II radar) to near infrared and optical photon frequencies and
from molecules to human subjects (e.g. breast cancer). The concept
of molecular beacons is attributed to Dr. Chance.
