The Functional Interfaces Research Group and the Biological Nanochemistry Research Group of the Institute of Materials and Environmental Chemistry of the ELKH Research Centre for Natural Sciences (RCNS) are participating in an international collaboration Biosensor Surface Innovators with the University of Toronto and Comenius University Bratislava, which has been awarded the 2023 Robert Boyle Analytical Science Horizon Prize of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
With the Horizon prizes, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) is recognizing individuals, collaborations and teams for their exceptional achievements in advancing the chemical sciences.
The 2023 prize recognizes the design, development and bioanalytical application of an ultra-high frequency acoustic wave device (EMPAS) for the antifouling-based detection of biological species in complex media such as serum.
Prof. Michael Thompson (University of Toronto) will give a lecture entitled Engineering anti-fouling surface chemistry for theranostics: from early stage cancer detection to biocompatible medical devices on July 25, 2023 at 10 a.m. at RCNS.
Information about the prize is available at the RSC website, and a video introducing the winning team can be found on the RSC YouTube channel.
