Periodic Reporting for period 1 - RISH (Imaging of multiple mRNA targets using SERS nanoparticle labels and in situ hybridization in human cancer tissue sections)

Immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization techniques that employ fluorescence are routinely used as diagnosis tools, for the detection of several antigens and DNA/RNA in tissue sections. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), can also be employed in biomedical...
