Jun 2, 2013

VPD Group member, Shraddha Avasthy, presented a poster at the PSOC 2013 H Foundation Basic Science Symposium. This year's symposium focused on the structure of genes, chromosomes and nuclei to diagnose and determine possible therapies for cancer and other diseases.

Shraddha's poster, entitled Mechanical Probing of Live Single Cells with Atomic Force Microscopy: Implications for Disease Daignosis and Therapy, detailed her work using AFM force spectroscopy on live cells for application in diagnosis of colon cancer and therapy evaluation for acute lung injury.
