Proteins are the structural supports, signal messengers and molecular workhorses that underpin living processes in every cell. Understanding when and where proteins are expressed, and their structure and functions, is ...

There are a vast number of field–portable data loggers currently on the market. They differ greatly in terms of capability and complexity, in many cases being application or function specific. A survey was undertaken to ...

Muscle foods such as meat, fish and poultry are an integral part of human diet. Over time, such food succumbs to spoilage, resulting from various intrinsic and extrinsic factors, the most significant of which is microbial ...

Quantum dot encoded microspheres (QDEMs) offer much potential for bead based identification of a variety of biomolecules via flow cytometry (FCM). To date, QDEM subpopulation classification from FCM has required significant ...

The aim of the work described in this thesis was to develop novel methods for the extraction of gene regulatory networks (GRN) from gene expression data, and use these methods to capture previously unknown relationships ...

Early cancer detection drastically improves the chances of cure and therefore methods are required, which allow early detection and screening in a fast, reliable and inexpensive manner. A prospective method, featuring ...

This thesis aimed to investigate vibrational spectroscopies for the identification of biochemical markers of leukaemias and lymphomas. In a preliminary study using the blood proteins albumin, fibrinogen and globulin, Drop ...
