Quantitative PCR 
<http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/action?CID=8289&EID=51743543&MPC=S051G04I>addresses 
the evident requirement for quantitative data analysis in molecular 
medicine, biotechnology, diagnostics and other areas, and has become the 
method of choice for the quantification of nucleic acid targets and 
identification of sequence-specific variations. Often described as a 
"gold" standard, these are far from being routine assays.

Dr. Nolan is an internationally recognized molecular biologist with an 
expertise in the field of mRNA quantification using qPCR. She is 
co-author of the specialist textbook The A-Z of Quantitative PCR (ed 
S.A. Bustin; IUL Press) and co-author of the SPUD and mRNA integrity assays
