Mission Statement: Personalized hemodialysis treatments for individual patients.
Goals & Objectives: 1.Explore the drawbacks of hemodialysis. 2.Fully understand the capabilities and limitations of Raman spectroscopy. 3.Learn which Raman peaks correspond to certain chemicals. 4.Be able to take a Raman scan of the waste stream of hemodialysis. 5.Perform these scans throughout a hemodialysis treatment to determine chemical clearance. 6.Use results to monitor patient progress throughout their dialysis treatments.
