A recognition of David Smith’s unique contributions to the field of breath analysis

摘要

Breath gas analysis has received steadily increasing interest from the scientific and clinical communities over the years, particularly in the past two decades. The number of researchers actively targeting biomarkers in breath as a means for medical diagnoses or to monitor therapeutic interventions has increased from just a handful 20 years ago to numerous research groups from diverse disciplines, spread throughout the globe. David Smith belongs to the scattering of pioneering scientists that were active in the earlier years of breath analysis.
