| Salivary Diagnostics: Powered by Nanotechnologies, Proteomics, and Genomics | ||||||||
Sponsored by: Plenary | ||||||||
| Description: A transformation is currently in place whereby we are witnessing the increasing awareness, scientific research and clinical utility of saliva as a diagnostic fluid. Much of this is due to the timely investment by the National Institute of Dental & Craniofacial Research to develop technologies and diagnostic targets for saliva diagnostics. Nanotechnology-based saliva biosensors that are point of care, automated and self-contained which can be used as clinical chair side devices are currently being developed. In addition, diagnostic targets in saliva are concurrently being deciphered based on the salivary proteome. The convergence of diagnostic technologies and the salivary proteome will present clinical platforms and diagnostic targets that will have enormous translational and clinical utilities | ||||||||
