Biomarkers for Detection of Thirdhand Smoke Exposure 2014-060
APPLICATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY: Early detection, risk assessment and monitoring in-house exposure to thirdhand smoke (THS) ADVANTAGES: Biomarker is unique to THS ABSTRACT: Researchers at Berkeley Lab have shed light on the cellular mechanisms linking exposure to thirdhand smoke (THS) with oxidative stress, DNA damage and cancer risk. They have also identified a … [Read more...] about Biomarkers for Detection of Thirdhand Smoke Exposure 2014-060
RadBioChip: Biomarkers for Radiation Exposure 2014-105
Berkeley Lab’s RadBioChip offers diagnostic and prognostic methods that use only four peripheral blood protein biomarkers from a small sample to classify radiation exposure dose levels with 100% accuracy into five exposure dose categories up to 6 Gy and up to five days after exposure. The technology overcomes limitations of physical dosimeters (badge readers) and previous … [Read more...] about RadBioChip: Biomarkers for Radiation Exposure 2014-105
Detecting Antibiotic Resistance IB-2927
ABSTRACT: A robust, automated computational pipeline was used to design a system comprising a microarray for the identification of microorganisms and their antibiotic resistance profiles. This system and methods will facilitate the study of the epidemiology and microbial ecology of antibiotic resistance and be an invaluable tool to rapidly and simultaneously identify … [Read more...] about Detecting Antibiotic Resistance IB-2927
