Nanospectrometer Aids in Identifying Nutrient Cycle

... NanoSIMS could allow medical researchers to study metabolic function in distinct cell types, in cells at different stages of development and in cancerous versus non-cancerous cells. Gunther Dennert, professor of molecular microbiology at the USC Keck School of Medicine, said he could see many interesting qu...
