Hi, I'm Andrew Hires. I recently finished my Ph.D. in Neurosciences at UCSD and am now a post-doc at Janelia Farm. My work focuses on development and use of genetically-encoded optical sensors of neuronal signaling. Hence my interest in the GFP page. I also have a blog on brain imaging technology, Brain Windows

Cell Penetrating Peptides

Those are not my papers. My wife was involved in those publications, sometimes as PI and sometimes only because others used her conjugates. I am familiar with the cell penetrating peptide development effort at AVI BioParma, had those references handy and have read the papers cited there; I've not undertaken a broad search for other papers, nor would I feel comfortable citing other papers which I have not read. You are welcome to edit, of course.
