Abstract

The terahertz laboratory medicine (THz-LabMed) is an intergrated cross-frontier field which involves multi-disciplinary including medicine, biology, biomedical engineering, physics, optics, computer science, information and materials. Using THz technologies for label-free detection and analysis of biomedical macromolecules, cell and tissues, the THz-LabMed is also the core components of terahertz biomedine (THz-BioMed) which focuses on the biomedical application of THz technologies. THz label-free detection is being paid more and more attention because of its unique advantages worldwide and becomes a hot spot for the application of THz wave technology and methods in life science. Application of THz technology in biomedicine involves many fields globally, including disease diagnosis, recognition of protein status, label-free DNA sequencing, mechanism for absorption differences of biological tissue to THz wave, and radiation influence on biological samples and biological process. THz-LabMed is the global synchronized research in THz-BioMed field in China. It is important to seize the opportunities to develop new disciplines of laboratory medicine.
