Applications of Raman Spectroscopy in Breast Cancer Surgery: A SciX Interview with Ioan Notingher, Part 3
As a preview to the SciX 2024 conference, Spectroscopy sat down with Ioan Notingher to discuss about what he is looking forward to at SciX 2024.
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?

AI-Powered SERS Spectroscopy Breakthrough Boosts Safety of Medicinal Food Products
April 16th 2025A new deep learning-enhanced spectroscopic platform—SERSome—developed by researchers in China and Finland, identifies medicinal and edible homologs (MEHs) with 98% accuracy. This innovation could revolutionize safety and quality control in the growing MEH market.
New Raman Spectroscopy Method Enhances Real-Time Monitoring Across Fermentation Processes
April 15th 2025Researchers at Delft University of Technology have developed a novel method using single compound spectra to enhance the transferability and accuracy of Raman spectroscopy models for real-time fermentation monitoring.
Nanometer-Scale Studies Using Tip Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
February 8th 2013Volker Deckert, the winner of the 2013 Charles Mann Award, is advancing the use of tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) to push the lateral resolution of vibrational spectroscopy well below the Abbe limit, to achieve single-molecule sensitivity. Because the tip can be moved with sub-nanometer precision, structural information with unmatched spatial resolution can be achieved without the need of specific labels.
