Spectroscopy E-Books
Spectroscopy recently spoke with Nilay Chakraborty, PhD, MBA, an assistant professor in the department of mechanical engineering at the University of Michigan, Dearborn, whose research focuses on developing new techniques for improving the survival of mammalian cells when stabilized and stored at non-cryogenic and cryogenic temperatures. In this interview, Chakraborty discusses the role that Raman spectroscopy plays in his work on biopreservation.
