Research
Research in the Buccella laboratory centers on developing new molecular probes and chemical tools to study metal ion homeostasis and small molecule reactive species at the cellular level. In cancer research, her program has two main arms: studying disrupted metal homeostasis and redox metabolism in cancer and other pathologies, and developing molecular probes and novel cellular imaging technologies to track reactive species in live cells.
