#Introduction to #Mastodon community on new instance!
I'm an #academic interested in #metabolomics #chemometrics and #diseases. My group focuses on decoding #smell of #diseases and #scent in general. We work with #clinicians across the globe to build predictive #models. We are based in #Manchester, #UK.
If you are interested in #scientific #research, #academia, #coffee or #cricket, come say hi! Also, if you have any #tips and #tricks to find cool stuff on here, please #educate me!
@drupad nice to meet you! Really interested to learn more about your work. Might be a dumb question but are you guys linking smells with diseases?
@zainsyed Hi! Yes, we are. The odour changes beyond just an inflammatory response and is very specific to diseases.
@drupad very interesting! Do you guys have any data? Would love to learn more about it.
@zainsyed Yes! We have a few papers published on Parkinson's disease, some-odourless ones on COVID-19 for obvious reasons and my group is currently working on TB and cancer - unpublished research. Here is how it all started - https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acscentsci.8b00879
