The potential and limits of Raman spectroscopy methods in medical diagnostics

Quick, comfortable diagnosis - von Prof. Dr Jürgen Popp

As the proportion of elderly people in the population continues to rise, we are facing the growing challenge of providing affordable and sustainable healthcare systems. An impending collapse of these systems can be avoided only by developing new methods and equipment that enable disease to be detected and tackled as early as possible. Ideally, this would be no later than the occurrence of initial disease-driven changes at a molecular level.
