Abstract: DNA sensing strategies have recently been varieted with the number of attempts at the development of different biosensor devices based on nanomaterials, which will further become DNA microchip systems. The investigations at the side of material science in connection with electrochemical biosensors open new directions for detection of specific gene sequences, and nucleic acid-ligand interactions. An overview will be presented about nanomaterial-based electrochemical DNA sensing strategies principally performed for the analysis of specific DNA sequences and the quantification of nucleic acids.

Professor Arzum Erdem is an expert in electrochemistry and bioelectrochemistry, particularly in application of electrochemical techniques in bioassays related to analyzing nucleotide sequences, detecting DNA damage and monitoring of DNA-drug interactions, and development of electrochemical (bio)sensors based on application of nanoobjects (nanomaterials) such as various nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, graphene etc. During her stay in Brno, Prof. A. Erdem will give a survey lecture on nanomaterial-based biosensors and discussions with CEITEC groups involved in related research topics to identify themes for extension of existing and/or establishing new collaborations.
Arzum Erdem received Bachelor in Pharmacy from Ege University, Izmir, Turkey in 1993. She received the master degree in 1996 and PhD degree in 2000 in Department of Analytical Chemistry at the same university in Izmir. She worked as an assistant professor from 2000 to 2003 and as an associated professor from 2003 to 2009 at the Analytical Chemistry Department of the Faculty of Pharmacy in Ege University. Dr. Erdem was awarded by the Turkish Academy of Sciences (TUBA) as the one of highly skilled young scientists selected in 2001, and she also received Juniour Science Award 2006 given by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK).
Prof. A. Erdem has authored or co-authored more than 80 papers in refereed journals and conference proceedings, he has given more than 15 invited talks in international meetings and conferences, is the co-author of 7 book chapters and review papers. She has received more than 2200 citations (h-index = 28).
