Thomas J. Meade

Thomas J. Meade is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Northwestern University. His research focuses on inorganic coordination chemistry for molecular imaging of in vivo gene expression and intracellular messengers, transition metal enzyme inhibitors, and electronic biosensors. He holds multiple professorships, including Professor of Molecular Biosciences, Neurobiology, Radiology, and Biomedical Engineering (by courtesy). Meade is the Eileen M. Foell Professor of Cancer Research and Charles Deering McCormick Professor of Teaching Excellence. He is also the faculty director of the Center for Advanced Molecular Imaging (CAMI). His work involves developing imaging tools for noninvasive detection and monitoring of disease, particularly in cancer and neuroscience, through coordination chemistry-based contrast agents and biosensors.

Thomas Meade is a professor in the Department of Chemistry at Northwestern University, specializing in coordination chemistry, molecular imaging, and biosensors. His research focuses on developing advanced imaging agents and biosensors for biomedical applications, particularly in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and molecular detection. Meade's work includes the design of lanthanide-based probes, Gd(III)-nanodiamond conjugates, and biosensors for gene expression and enzymatic activity. His research also explores the electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of metal complexes and their applications in DNA-based sensing and RNAi-based therapies. Meade's contributions span the development of smart contrast agents and the study of electron transfer mechanisms in biological systems.
