Biochips, Microarrays, and Jules

Interferometric silicon biochips for label and label-free DNA and protein microarrays.

Protein and DNA microarrays hold the promise to revolutionize the field of molecular diagnostics. Traditional microarray applications employ labeled detection strategies based on the use of fluorescent and chemiluminescent secondary antibodies. However, the development of high throughput, sensitive, label-free detection techniques is attracting attention as they do not require labeled reactants...

Charles-Jules-Henri Nicolle

sia. Nicolle's many accomplishments include the discovery that epidemic typhus is transmitted by body lice (Pediculus humanis corporis), discovery of the phenomenon of inap-parent infection, and possibly the first isolation of human influenza virus after experimental transmission. Nicolle made many other fundamental contributions to knowledge of infectious diseases. This year is the centenary o...
