Seminar: DNA aptamers – novel receptors in biosensors
9th December 2011 – 12:00
Speaker:
Prof. Tibor Hianik (Comenius University Bratislava)
Location:
Aula U. M. Grassano
Facoltà di Scienze Matematiche, Fisiche e Naturali
Università degli Studi di Roma “Tor Vergata”
Abstract:
The talk will deal with the following topics:
Structure and properties of DNA aptamers. Aptamer engneering, preparation of nanostructured surfaces and aptamer immobilization. Electrochemical and acoustical methods of aptamer-ligand detection. Examples of biosensors for detection thrombin, prions, and ochratoxin.
Biographical:
Professor Tibor Hianik is head of the Laboratory of Biophysics of Comenius University Bratislava.
He is chair of the Master and PhD program in Biophysics at CUB. Prof. T. Hianik supervised 16 PhD students and more than 30 diploma works.
A substantial area of his research is focussed on the development of biosensors based on DNA aptamers and antibodies.
He has authored 135 papers in International Journals, two monographs, six chapters in books and serves as associate editor of the International Journal Bioelectrochemistry (Elsevier) and editor of the International Journal of General Physiology and Biophysics (SAS). He also served as a guest editor of special issue of Electroanalysis (Wiley) focused on electrochemical aptasensors.
He is member of the Council of Bioelectrochemical Society, member of commission C6 on Biological Physics of IUPAP and president of the Slovak Biophysical Society.

News: NAST researchers awarded the American Ceramic Society ACerS Ross Coffin Purdy Award 2011
NAST researchers awarded the American Ceramic Society ACerS Ross Coffin Purdy Award 2011
NAST Members Alessandra D’Epifanio, Elisabetta Di Bartolomeo, Silvia Licoccia, Giuseppe Balestrino and Enrico Traversa, together with colleagues Daniele Pergolesi and Emiliana Fabbri (National Institute for Material Science, Japan), andAntonello Tebano and Simone Sanna (Department of Mechanical Engineering) have been given the award because of their paper “High proton conduction in grain-boundary-free yttrium-doped barium zirconate films grown by pulsed laser deposition” that was published in Nature Materials in 2010. The Purdy award is given to the author or authors who made the most valuable contribution to ceramic technical literature during the calendar year prior to the selection.

Forum: IRICH – A New Way of Looking at Cultural Heritage
The “Forum on Technology for Cultural Heritage” will take place on the 24th and 25th June at the Italian Pavilion at Expo Shanghai and IRICH will also be there. It stands for Italian Research Infrastructure for Conservation and Analysis of Cultural Heritage and is the first infrastructure for research in the field of Cultural Heritage. Its objective is the preservation and analysis of Cultural Heritage through the integration of infrastructures and technologies in various Italian regions. IRICH also provides a solid base for advancing understanding in the science and technology sectors applied to cultural heritage
