PATHS-UP Fellows (graduate students) who just finished his Ph.D., Cyril Soliman, as well as one of PATHS-UP faculty, Sam Mabbott (leading the C2C grant) and one of our industry advisor board members, Michael Matthews, vice president of the spectroscopy division at Wasatch Photonics, had an exciting discussion on their work to develop a surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy technology. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful technique to enhance the Raman signal of molecules adsorbed on or near metallic nanostructures. It has applications in various fields, including chemistry, materials science, and biomedicine. The group is working on a portion of PATHS-UP-supported work that involves the development of a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy technology that targets the detection of core biomarkers at the point of care.
