Congratulations to the ICORS poster prize winners!

22 Aug 2016

Congratulations to our Analyst Poster Prize winners at the recent ICORS conference in Fortaleza, Brazil. This international conference brings together experts from different fields to discuss the frontiers of Raman spectroscopy. The conference aims provide an environment for in-depth scientific discussions of Raman-based techniques, as well as for scientific exchange that ideally will seed new collaborations.

The winners were as follows:

Ziyi Cheng from Hanyang University, Republic of South Korea, with their poster SERS-based wash-free immunoassay of prostate specific antigen using microdroplet sensor.

Faris Sinjab from University of Nottingham, United Kingdom, with their poster AFM-Raman of single cells: decoupling biomolecule concentration from sampling volume for quantitative Raman measurements.

Katarzyna M. Marzec from Jagiellonian University, Poland, with their poster Imaging of the biomarkers of atherosclerotic alternations in murine brain – IR and Raman studies.

Well done to our three winners!

Nanoprobes to guide cancer radiotherapy dosing

14 Jul 2016

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) can help optimise radiotherapy treatment regimes for prostate cancer, UK scientists have shown.

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide in men, and the fourth most common cancer overall. It is usually treated with radiotherapy, and doctors would like to tailor doses for individual patients. This would help maximise tumour cell destruction, while minimising damage to normal tissue.
