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. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aSpectrum analysis 606 $aMicroscopy 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aSurfaces (Physics) 606 $aInterfaces (Physical sciences) 606 $aThin films 606 $aSpectroscopy and Microscopy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31090 606 $aBiological and Medical Physics, Biophysics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27008 606 $aSurface and Interface Science, Thin Films$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25160 615 0$aSpectrum analysis. 615 0$aMicroscopy. 615 0$aBiophysics. 615 0$aBiophysics. 615 0$aSurfaces (Physics) 615 0$aInterfaces (Physical sciences) 615 0$aThin films. 615 14$aSpectroscopy and Microscopy. 615 24$aBiological and Medical Physics, Biophysics. 615 24$aSurface and Interface Science, Thin Films. 676 $a535.846 700 $aFasolato$b Claudia$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063734 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910303444103321 996 $aSurface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy for Biophysical Applications$92534280 997 $aUNINA
