Biological tissues pose an analytical challenge because they are compositionally complex and the information they provide can be difficult to objectively uncover. Raman spectroscopy offers an objective technique for characterization, however information from Raman spectra can be hard to reliably extract. We will explore how Raman microscopy can be utilized as a simple, non-invasive method to biochemically characterize healing wounds, particularly when coupled with multivariate spectral analysis to accurately identify different phases of the healing of wounds with time.
Considering wounds as a model biological surface, the webinar will address:
1. Challenges associated with collection of Raman spectra from a biological tissue or surface
2. The potential of Raman spectroscopy for real-time, in situ biochemical characterization of biological tissues for clinical research
