Raman spectroscopy for cancer cytopathology
Early detection of cancer is key to better outcomes for patients, and cancer screening using minimally invasive samples such as blood, urine, saliva and exfoliated cells is receiving increasing attention.

Comprehensive analysis of glycosphingolipid glycans by lectin microarrays and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are ubiquitous glycoconjugates present on the cell membrane, which play significant roles in organism. Analyzing such amphiphilic molecules is a major challenge in the field of glycosphingolipidomics. We provide a new method to analyze GSL glycans by a lectin microarray.
Balancing parental care and tenure-track life at the time of COVID-19
What are we, immigrant scientists to do with deteriorating parents? Leave them at nursing homes or with home health aides in faraway lands without immediate family nearby? Bring them over? Move back home? When the pandemic hit, I saw a new way out.
Human fetal whole body post-mortem microfocus computed tomographic imaging
Pregnancy loss is a devastating event and whilst conventional autopsy techniques can provide parents with answers as to the cause of their loss, many decline due to its invasive nature. We describe micro-CT as an alternative to conventional autopsy and why this is more acceptable to parents.
Screening Host Defense Peptide Libraries for Antibiofilm and/or Immunomodulatory Activities
Systematic assays suitable for use with peptide arrays are described in this protocol to evaluate biological activities associated with host defense peptides (HDPs), such as biofilm inhibition and/or immunomodulatory properties.
