Linking Cigarette Smoke And Obesity: What Our Genes And Environmental Factors Tell Us

Abstract:
PNNL's new center to explain biological response due to stressors posed by the environment and our natural makeup

Many kinds of nanomaterials will be used to help researchers develop prototype nanotechnology-based sensors for measurement of biomarkers. Materials like metal nanoparticles (gold, silver), semiconductor nanoparticles, and enzyme-loaded carbon nanotubes (CNTs) may be used to amplify biomarker signals.
