Available to view on demand. Accurate and precise biomarker measurement is critical to identifying diagnostic markers and druggable targets. Learn how quantitative mass spectrometry ensures proper biomarker measurement and characterization.
A team from the University of Washington (WA, USA) has demonstrated the use of time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry for mapping tumor cell signals in pancreatic cancer mouse models.
Biomedical research is largely centered on making new discoveries as it relates to human health and disease. The ultimate goal is to understand how human biology works and when and why it goes awry. With a strong foundation on the mechanisms of health and disease, advances in diagnostics and therapeutic interventions can be generated bringing cures to recalcitrant diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative pathologies.
