A New Nanoparticle-Based Sensor System for Rapidly Screening Cancer Drugs

Chemists at Umass Amherst have developed a multi-channel signature-based approach to screening drugs using a gold nanoparticles with red, green and blue outputs provided by fluorescent proteins. Amherst, Massachusetts – Traditional genomic, proteomic and other screening methods currently used to characterize drug mechanisms are time-consuming and require special equipment, but now researchers led by chemist […]
