Abstract
Raman Spectroscopy has been used in various areas post its discovery in1928. In the past decade, the potential of Raman Spectroscopy to be used inBiology has been increasingly appreciated. The ease of performing Ramanspectroscopy and the miniaturization of the spectrometer, has made it anattractive point of care diagnostic tool. In this talk I would like todemonstrate the two applications of Raman spectroscopy, namely, non-PCRbased bio-diagnostic application and potential of Raman as a per-screeningtool for drug discovery.
