Forensic researchers at King's College London, led by Dr. Vincenzo Abbate, have embarked on an exciting partnership with Thermo Fisher Scientific, in collaboration with Guy's and St Thomas Hospital, to improve diagnoses for drug toxicity patients. In the article posted on the university's news center, Dr. Abbate is quoted stating, "I am delighted that this translational healthcare research using sophisticated mass spectrometry is being supported by this important agreement with Thermo Fisher, my colleagues at King’s and Guy’s and St Thomas’ Trust, which we anticipate will have international impact."
