In this area, I am working on the usage of lab-assembled spectroscopic tools for the investigation of clinical or clinically relevant samples. A high-performance liquid phase chromatography-laser induced fluorescence system has been explored for the body fluid analysis, particularly for the pap smear analysis of patients with cervical cancer [1]. The same technique was further explored for protein profiling of breast and oral cancer patients [2-3]. Further, by using the multivariate statistical tools, we explored the laser-induced fluorescence technique as a tool for the early detection of colon cancer [4]. Recently, a hybrid laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy-Raman spectroscopy system was used for mineralogical applications which can be extended for biological samples also [5]. Of late, the research is focused on the development of nanoplaforms for biomedical and therapeutical applications [6-9]
