WHEN: September 2-5, 2013
WHERE: Komenského náměstí 2, Brno
The workshop is devoted to electrochemical properties of chemically modified biopolymers, techniques of biopolymer labeling with redox and other tags for the purpose of biosensing as well as current and prospective application areas of the labeled biopolymers. The goal of the workshop is to bring together and stimulate discussion among researchers, potential users of new biosensors and bioassays and producers of bioanalytical/diagnostic kits and instruments.
The participation of following invited speakers has been confirmed:
- Dr. Elena Ferapontova (University of Aarhus, Denmark): Electron transfer in the surface-tethered DNA duplexes
- Prof. Emil Palecek (Institute of Biophysics, AS CR, Brno): Electrochemistry of natural and chemically modified proteins and carbohydrates
- Assoc. Prof. Michal Hocek (Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, AS CR, Prague): Polymerase syntheses of base-modified DNA - new methods and new applications
- Dr. Vlastimil Vyskocil (Charles University, Prague): New trends in the development of electrochemical sensors for the analysis of organic compounds
- Prof. Gerd-Uwe Flechsig (Manchester Metropolitan University, UK): Temperature-optimized DNA and RNA hybridization on gold electrodes using osmium tetroxide labels
- Dr. Thomas Doneux (l'Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium): New insights into the interactions between electroactive complexes and DNA sequences
