This book is a review on the evolution of cell-based microarrays and an update to the author's earlier book Methods in Molecular Biology: Cell-Based Microarrays . Since their development in 2001, cell-based microarrays have advanced significantly to include expression arrays, short interfering RNA arrays and antibody arrays. The surface used to coat the glass slides has also been significantly improved to allow non-adherent cells to bind to the arrays.

About the author
Ella Palmer is a molecular biology expert. She undertook her Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge, where she developed a large-scale cell-based microarray and identified potential new genes involved in apoptosis, for which a patent was registered. She has since held postdoctoral positions at Imperial College in London, examining the cell polarity of Drosophila photoreceptors, and at University College London, working on a quantitative systems biology initiative for single cell analysis of the NFAT pathway. Most recently she has been working as an intern at a medical writing company.
