Quantum Dots in Medical Science as Cancer Tracer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/quantum-dots-in-medical-science-as-cancer-tracer/
A huge leap in personalized medicine may come from the use of Quantum dots (QDs) to combat and identify several hard to cure diseases, such as cancer, immunodeficiencies, and neurological disorders. Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals with unique photophysical properties. Their excellent optical properties are a promising alternative to organic dyes for fluorescence biomedical […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/skan-low-cost-non-invasive-melanoma-detection-device/
A team of medical and bioengineering undergraduates from McMaster University, Canada have designed a cancer detection device able to detect melanoma. Their design solution, the sKan, is a low cost and non-invasive detection device. Annually, skin cancer accounts for 1 in every 3 cancer diagnoses1. The estimated 5-year survival rate for patients whose melanoma is […]
