Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) belongs to a group of neurodegenerative diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) which affect many species. From 1986 more than 184,000 cattle in the UK have been confirmed to be infected with this disease, and in Canada total...

Metabolomics by GC×GC-TOFMS: Overcoming Challenges from Sample Preparation to Data Analysis Towards Standardization of the Workflow
DownloadSpring 2021
Metabolomics is an ‘omics’ field, which involves the comprehensive characterization of metabolites using analytical chemistry technologies and statistical methods to interpret the results. The term metabolomics was coined about two decades ago as an analogy to other precedent omics approaches:...

The infrastructure necessary to support diagnostic and pathogen-detection processes does not exist in some regions of the world that need it most. Access to fast, inexpensive and portable diagnostic infrastructure could be a solution to this problem. Next generation lab-on-chip (LOC) systems that...

The Political Economy of Animal Testing and Traceability in Response to Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs)
DownloadSpring 2015
Transmissible Spongifrom Encephalopathies (TSEs), which include bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle and chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids, are associated with three possible risks. The risks of food safety outbreaks, the risks to economic benefits, and the risks to society's...
