In fifteen words or less, explain the significance of this contribution (Novel Aspect).: New diagnostics for health based on SERS

Abstract Text: Raman spectroscopy is an attractive technique for the analysis of biomolecules due to the rich information provided. However, due to the lack of sensitivity, Raman spectroscopy has struggled to become adopted in many widespread biological applications. To enhance the sensitivity of Raman spectroscopy, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can be used and this presentation will focus on the latest developments of using SERS from Strathclyde for point of care applications.
