Biography

 Dr. Ramasamy Paulmurugan is Assistant Professor in Radiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. He received his Masters in Biomedical Genetics and Ph.D. in Molecular Virology from the University of Madras, India. After serving as scientist for four years, he joined the School of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles as a visiting scientist. In 2003 he moved to Stanford as a Senior Research Scientist. Since 2009 he has been working as Assistant Professor at the Department of Radiology in Stanford University under the Molecular Imaging Program (MIPS). He is a pioneer in developing split-reporter protein complementation systems for different reporter genes (luciferases, fluorescent proteins and thymidine kinase) and has been using the system for imaging cellular protein-protein interactions in living animals. Currently his lab (Cellular Pathway Imaging Laboratory (CPIL)) is working on the application of different imaging strategies to evaluate the therapeutic role of ERbeta, another important estrogen receptor, which has been recently identified as one of the major player in Estrogen biology.
