Mid-infrared liquid biopsy: can we see more by looking at less? (Conference Presentation)

The mid-infrared (MIR) spectral regime has gained interest in biosensor research serving as a direct diagnostic tool due to the unique excitation of specific molecular vibrational modes of biomarkers and biomolecules with inherent selectivity. Consequently, this presentation focuses on the role of mid-infrared sensing technologies in liquid biopsies emphasizing the crucial requirement for accurate detection and real-time monitoring in early disease diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression.
