Shed Tears for Diagnostics

Autor Anjali Prashar
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 aug 2020
This book covers a wide range of topics concerning human tear based science, starting from basics such as the normal composition of tears and moving up to novel disease detection platforms. The entire approach is pioneering, as tears are beginning to be recognized as the most invaluable non-invasive tool in diagnostics. Interestingly, the concept is not restricted to ocular diseases: In recent years, tear diagnostics is increasingly being tapped even for cancer detection. Hopefully, non-invasive tear diagnostics will eventually replace today’s invasive disease detection and monitoring techniques. 
Previous literature on tear diagnostics has been restricted to scientific journal articles, most of which dealt with a single tear constituent, such as a protein. This book offers a far more comprehensive and handy ‘reference guide,’ presenting both basic and advanced information and data. Accordingly, it will be useful for researchers in academia and the pharmaceutical industry, as well as healthcare professionals and diagnostic kit developers.

Notă biografică

Dr. Anjali Prashar completed her postdoctoral research at King’s College, London, UK on a neuroendocrinology project based on melanopsin, an opsin found in the melanophores of Xenopus laevis. She previously received her Ph.D. degree from the University of Westminster, London, UK. Her Ph.D. thesis was amongst the first papers to indicate that some of the most commonly used essential oils (e.g. lavender oil) could potentially have an adverse effect on human skin. 
Her experience in the field of scientific research stretches over many years and over varied areas of biotechnology and biomedical sciences. She also worked as a senior cell biologist at Hypha Discovery, a UK based biotech firm, where she focused on searching for novel anti-cancer compounds from fungal species including those of marine origin. She has several publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals to her credit, and is on the advisory board of the Journal of Basic Microbiology.
