A new diagnostic platform may help detect drug-induced liver injury better. How would this work in real-world clinical settings?

The combination of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and digital microfluidics (DMF) might be able to improve detection of liver injury biomarkers.

What should students working in clinical research settings keep in mind?

Did you miss Sian Sloan-Dennison’s talk on digital microfluidics and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) at Spring SciX? If yes, she recaps her talk in this video clip.

In this interview clip, Sian Sloan-Dennison, a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Strathclyde, discusses how a new digital microfluidics surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (DMF-SERS) platform be implemented in clinical settings.

What were attendees talking about the most at Spring SciX?

Sian Sloan-Dennison, a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Strathclyde, discusses how young researchers can leverage their time at scientific conferences effectively to land their postdoctoral research opportunity.

The upcoming 10th International Conference on Tip-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy is set to take place from June 3–5, 2026, in Zurich, Switzerland. Here’s what attendees can expect.

Jennifer Ferguson, an Applications Manager at Renishaw, discusses why Raman spectroscopy is an ideal technique for characterizing lithium-ion battery anodes.

Sian Sloan-Dennison, a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Strathclyde, discusses the importance of considering the end-use application of SERS assays and random probes, such as whether they are for early diagnostics or patient use.

The Spring SciX Conference was held at the University of Exeter from April 14–16th, 2026. One talk discussed using Raman spectroscopy to characterize lithium-ion battery anodes.

Why does integrating a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) assay with a digital microfluidics (DMF) platform improve sensitivity, reproducibility, and throughput when detecting onset of drug-induced liver injury?
