KEYNOTE: Spectroscopy for Biomedical Monitoring Applications

Laura Fabris shares recent work with and a general outlook on spectroscopy for biomedical applications. She focuses on portable and low-cost implementation used for disease and drug monitoring, specifically, and shares a future perspective on application and technique development.

About the presenter
Laura Fabris, Ph.D., is associate professor of materials science and engineering at Rutgers University. Prior to joining the university in 2009, she was a postdoc in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Fabris earned her bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees in chemistry from the University of Padua in Italy. Her research aims at rationally designing plasmonic nanomaterials, employing both experimental and computational approaches, to address biologically and medically relevant questions and, most recently, to design efficient nanostructured photocatalysts.
