Waggoner's research has focused on development of fluorescence-based detection systems for biology and biotechnology. The cyanine dye fluorescent labeling reagents developed in the laboratory have become widely used in industry and academic research for multicolor analysis of proteins, nucleic acids, cells and tissues with imaging microscopes
and flow cytometers. Dr. Waggoner is currently leading the Molecular Biosensor and Imaging Center into development of microbiosensors for studying protein regulatory processes in living cells and tissues. The Center also has a NASA project for detecting sparse microorganisms in extreme environment
