Automation in Proteomics and Genomics: An Engineering Case-Based Approach
Date: Mar 20, 2009
Author: Gil Alterovitz, Roseann Benson, Marco Ramoni
In the last decade DNA sequencing costs have decreased over a magnitude, largely because of increasing throughput by incremental advances in tools, technologies and process improvements. Further cost reductions in this and in related proteomics technologies are expected as a result of the development of new high-throughput techniques and the computational machinery needed to analyze data generated. Automation in Proteomics & Genomics: An Engineering Case-Based Approach describes the automation...

Vibrational Spectroscopy for Medical Diagnosis
Date: Mar 20, 2008
Author: Max Diem, Peter Griffiths, John M. Chalmers
Cancer is the second largest cause of death (after heart disease) in North America and Europe. Statistics from many countries serve constantly to inform us of how prevalent cancer is worldwide, even though one particular variation may be more predominant is one geographical region than another. The Traumatic cost in human lives, the dramatic cost of treatment and the need for rapidly advancing diagnoses and improving diagnostic methods for cancer, are clear for all to see. Current histopathological...
