2013 REU Poster: Development of SERS-Based Metabolic Profiling Method for Leukemia Cells
Ansah, Maureen
Metabolic profiling, or the study of low molecular weight intermediates, as a result of activation of tu-morigenesis pathways; has been found to be an important and successful measurement for the pathological state of cells, i.e. leukemia cell. SERS-based method provides us an alternative, ultra-sensitive label-free method to study the cancer cells metabolites. Abnormal metabolite molecules can be identified with comparison to the spectra of non-cancerous cells. The identity of these molecules can be confirmed by comparison with modeling compounds.
