Spectroscopy® is pleased to officially announce that
Bhavya Sharma, Ph.D., an assistant professor of chemistry at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, has been named the winner of the 2021 Emerging Leader in Molecular Spectroscopy Award. The award will be presented to Sharma at the SciX 2021 conference this fall, where she will give a plenary lecture and be honored in an award symposium. We would like to extend congratulations to Professor Sharma for winning the 2021 Emerging Leader in Molecular Spectroscopy Award, said Mike Hennessy Jr., president and CEO of MJH Life Sciences™, the parent company of
Spectroscopy®. Sharma is well deserving of this recognition for all of her excellent work as a molecular spectroscopist. We are proud to honor her with this award at the SciX conference this fall.
Researchers develop new AI-based strategy to assess beef freshness
Apr 1 2021
Scientists at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Korea, combine an inexpensive spectroscopy technique with artificial intelligence to develop a new way of assessing the freshness of beef samples. Their method is remarkably quicker and more cost-effective than conventional approaches while maintaining a relatively high accuracy, paving the way for mass-produced devices to identify spoiled meat both in the industry and at home.

Although beef is one of the most consumed foods around the world, eating it when it s past its prime is not only unsavory, but also poses some serious health risks. Unfortunately, available methods to check for beef freshness have various disadvantages that keep them from being useful to the public. For example, chemical analysis or microbial population evaluations take too much time and require the skills of

The liver is one of the organs most susceptible to drug toxicity and drug induced liver injury (DILI). DILI is a major cause of drug attrition, with more than 750 FDA approved drugs known to have a degree of DILI risk. There are a number of strategies to de-risk DILI in drug discovery and, in recent years, focus has turned to human in vitro 3D liver models to better predict DILI in early and pre-clinical development. These models culture primary human liver cells, often in co-cultures, in a physiologically relevant environment allowing them to stay functional for extended periods of time. This application assesses whether a microphysiological system (MPS), also known as Organ-on-a-Chip (OOC), in vitro liver model could be used to understand the detailed mechanistic aspects of liver toxicity.
