Achieved project aim(s)

The fiber-based IR spectroscopy was successfully used to investigate native human liver tissue samples. For the first time, the IR spectra allowed the differentiation of tumor subtypes. This method enabled the detailed analysis of the tissue’s chemical composition and the identification of specific differences between various tumor subtypes. The fiber-based IR spectroscopy offered the advantage of being conducted without the need for complex sample preparations or chemical labeling, making it a promising technique for the rapid and precise diagnosis of liver diseases, including liver cancer.

Fiber-based Molecular Spectroscopy was efficiently applied for in situ analysis of pancreatic tumor tissue.
