GHTM Session 2022CCID01p » Plasmonic nanoparticles to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

GHTM Sessions 2022 CCID01 » Plasmonic nanoparticles to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

  • From: 12/01/2022
  • To: 12/01/2022
  • Location: ZOOM | 11h00

There is an overall increase in life expectancy associated to high costs in health care for an ageing population in the industrialised world. Consequently, there is a demand for fast, cheap and easy to use diagnostic tests that are essential in identifying patients, determining prognosis, monitoring treatment and assessing the efficacy of prevention. Here, nanotechnology has a prominent role, with special emphasis on noble metal nanoparticles. The presentation focuses on alternative nanotechnology-based test-kit for detection of single nucleotide polymorphism as the one associated with lactose intolerance. Methodology, advantages and limitations will be discussed.

GHTM Sessions 2021 CCID05 » Molecular tools for mapping and monitoring schistosomiasis in endemic settings

  • From: 19/05/2021
  • To: 19/05/2021
  • Location: ZOOM | 11h00

Evaluation of schistosomiasis control programs, a snail-borne disease caused by Schistosoma spp, requires accurate diagnostic techniques to assess the infection status when low prevalence is achieved in endemic areas under mass drug administration (MDA).
