Science & Society: Weighing Molecules to Diagnose Disease, from Heel Prick to Skin Swab
📅 Tuesday 9 September 2025
📍 The Tung Auditorium, Yoko Ono Lennon Centre
Every year more than 30 million babies worldwide are screened for inborn metabolic disorders directly after birth with a heel prick assay that takes a tiny amount of blood to be analysed with a mass spectrometer. In the UK every baby born is screened in this way and the program has improved the health and life chances of many babies.
In this talk, Professor Perdita Barran will discuss using mass spectrometry to analyse intact biomolecules, their methodological approach for biomarker discovery, recent findings and perspective on how non-invasive sampling and mass spectrometry could play a major role for prevention and effective treatment of disease.
