Biology in Focus
26 June 2007
Biology in Focus highlights and draws together research in key areas at the chemistry/biology interface. Each quarterly instalment showcases a different subject area, providing scientists with an opportunity to browse and view related science on specific themes. Research material is primarily drawn from three RSC journals: Molecular BioSystems, Lab on a Chip and The Analyst.
The second theme is 'Microarrays'.
Theme 2: Microarrays
Protein, DNA, cell and even tissue microarrays offer fantastic opportunities for high throughput analysis of biological and biochemical events. New methods of fabrication, analysis and applications of microarrays all contribute to this fast moving area of research.
