SERS spectroscopy is an ultrasensitive analytical technique with great potential for applications in the field of biophysics and nanomedicine. As examples, the author presents the design of nanocolloid-based SERS-active substrates for molecular sensing and of a folate-based SERS-active nanosensor capable of selectively interacting with cancer cells, enabling cancer diagnostics and therapy at the single-cell level. The author also suggests novel paths for the systematization of the SERS nanosystem design and experimental protocols to maximize sensitivity and reproducibility, which is essential when real-world biomedical applications are the goal of the study. With a combined approach, both fundamental and applied, and a detailed analysis of the state of the art, this book provides a valuable overview both for students new to SERS spectroscopy and for experts in the field.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Spectrum analysisMicroscopyBiophysicsBiophysicsSurfaces (Physics)Interfaces (Physical sciences)Thin filmsSpectroscopy and Microscopyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31090Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27008Surface and Interface Science, Thin Filmshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25160Spectrum analysis.Microscopy.Biophysics.Biophysics.Surfaces (Physics)Interfaces (Physical sciences)Thin films.Spectroscopy and Microscopy.Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysics.Surface and Interface Science, Thin Films.535.846Fasolato Claudiaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063734BOOK9910303444103321Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy for Biophysical Applications2534280UNINA
