Excited to annouce the publication of a correspondance in Nature Microbiology spear-headed by Dr Kang Soo Lee within the StockerLab at ETH Zurich.

Raman microscopy is an advanced spectroscopic method which allows us to use the scattering of light to measure a “chemical fingerprint” of a sample, and has become an established tool for the measurement of microbiological samples. Specifically, it allows us to track the presence of different molecules/structures within a cell/biological sample, and is being increasingly applied to topics in both fundamental and applied microbiology.

This new repository seeks to establish reporting standards and a centralised database of microbiological Raman data, and hopes to play an important role in promoting the adoption of Raman spectroscopy within the broader microbiological community. This was a huge effort by Kang Soo Lee to coordinate such a large author pool, and we’re excited to see MicrobeRaman grow into a powerful tool to support an ever-growing community of scientists!
