"Professor studies human breath for disease indicators"

Abstract

"Oftentimes, when a patient is diagnosed with a deadly disease such as lung cancer or severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), it is too late to provide an effective treatment. But research by Oakland University Associate Professor of Chemistry John Seeley and his students is taking us one step closer toward the early detection of these illnesses. Seeley has teamed with researchers at Kettering University and McLaren Regional Medical Center in Flint to collect and analyze human breath samples to see if certain chemical compounds identify conditions of disease."
