Applications of Raman Spectroscopy in Breast Cancer Surgery: A SciX Interview with Ioan Notingher, Part 3

Over the first two parts of our SciX interview with Ioan Notingher, we talked about the research he and his team conducted. As Parts 1 and 2 show, Notingher went into detail about how he and his team explored how autofluorescence (AF) imaging, when used in conjunction with Raman spectroscopy, can assist in the intra-operative assessment of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in breast cancer surgery (1).

We continue our discussion of Notingher’s research in the third of final part of our conversation, but we also talk more about his thoughts on the upcoming SciX Conference and what he is looking forward to at the conference.

This year, the SciX Conference is taking place at the Raleigh Convention Center, in Raleigh, North Carolina. SciX provides the opportunity for scientists, academics, industry professionals, and researchers to share their latest research and new products with the analytical chemistry and spectroscopy community at large (2). Taking place in Raleigh, North Carolina, the SciX Conference will serve as an opportunity for attendees to gather in one space and network with one another (3).

In part 3 of our conversation with Notingher, he answers the following questions:

• How does Raman spectroscopy contribute to monitoring the development and quality of tissue-engineered constructs in regenerative medicine?
• Can you share specific examples where Raman spectroscopy has successfully been applied to track the progress of tissue regeneration or assess the functionality of bioengineered tissues?
• How has your educational background influenced your research pursuits in your career?
• What are you looking forward to most about the SciX Conference in Raleigh, North Carolina?
