The SPEC 2012 conference will be held later this year in Chiang Mai, Thailand, November 11-16. This year entitled “Shedding New Light on Disease” it is being chaired by Bayden Wood and Don McNaughton from Monash University, Australia.
As with previous SPEC conferences, Analyst is publishing a themed issue on Optical Diagnosis to feature papers from the conference and to highlight the latest advances in diagnosis and novel biomedical applications of infrared and Raman spectroscopy. You can read the editorial from the last themed issue on Optical Diagnosis here, and read the issue here.
This themed issue is scheduled to be published in the middle of 2013. The deadline for submission is 1 February 2013.
Take a look below at some of the great papers from the last themed issue.
