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?

Raman Spectroscopy to Detect Lung Cancer and Monitor Vaccine Effects
January 20th 2025A new study highlights the use of Raman spectroscopy to detect lung cancer and evaluate the effects of the PCV13 vaccine. Researchers found distinct biochemical changes in lung cancer patients and healthy individuals, revealing the vaccine's significant impact on immune response.
An Inside Look at the Fundamentals and Principles of Two-Dimensional Correlation Spectroscopy
January 17th 2025Spectroscopy recently sat down with Isao Noda of the University of Delaware and Young Mee Jung of Kangwon National University to talk about the principles of two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) and its key applications.
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.
New SERS-Microfluidic Platform Classifies Leukemia Using Machine Learning
January 14th 2025A combination of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and machine learning on microfluidic chips has achieved an impressive 98.6% accuracy in classifying leukemia cell subtypes, offering a fast, highly sensitive tool for clinical diagnosis.
Machine Learning-Enhanced SERS Technology Advances Cancer Detection
January 13th 2025Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an optical detection strategy for circulating tumor cells (CTCs), combining machine learning (ML) and dual-modal surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). This approach offers high sensitivity, specificity, and efficiency, potentially advancing early cancer diagnosis.
