Cancer Diagnostics: Parallel Sensing of Prostate Cancer Biomarkers

Workshop

“Application of lectins in various format of analysis for glycoprofiling”

Slovak Academy of Sciences, 23 January 2014

You are cordially invited to attend a PROSENSE workshop entitled “Application of lectins in various format of analysis for glycoprofiling” which is hosted by Institute of Chemistry at Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS) and will run for 1 day (January 23^rd 2014).

This workshop has been designed to provide you with a detailed overview of the application of lectins in various formats of analysis for glycoprofiling and glycorecognition. A detailed examination of current technologies used for glycoprofiling, and glyco-characterisation and the use of the optical and electrochemical biosensors based on surface plasmon resonance, lectin microarray and electrochemical based systems will be included. In addition, we will cover the use of lectins in combination with mass spectrometry for detection of glycobiomarkers.

There will be a question & answer session which will include case-study discussions outlining potential issues and their solutions. Practical sessions covering aspects of previously discussed technologies, and additionally the use of analytical techniques for screening will also play a big part.

Registration for the full workshop is €100 (student rate €75). This will allow you access to all presentations outlined in the programme, daily catering and attendance at the workshop dinner.
