    DescriptionProf Barran was also interviewed on Sky News this morning [no link available]. Prof Barran explained how mass spectrometry was being used to identify changes in the molecular composition of blood from infected patients. The aim is to tailor the treatment depending on a patient’s level of risk of becoming severely ill.
