Symposium 4

Bipolar Electrochemistry, from Bioanalysis to Materials Science

Sponsored by:

Division 1, Analytical Electrochemistry

Division 2, Bioelectrochemistry

Division 4, Electrochemical Materials Science

The concept of bipolar electrochemistry has been known for several

decades.

However, with the advent of micro- and nanotechnology there is

considerable renewed interest in this approach as it has become

apparent that there are extremely attractive features of bipolar

electrochemistry for completely new applications in areas ranging from

analytical chemistry to materials science.

Alexander Kuhn (Coordinator), University Bordeaux,(alexander.kuhn@enscbp.fr)

Fredrik Björefors, Uppsala University, Sweden

Symposium 5:

Photobioelectrochemistry - from Basic Concepts and Materials to

Devices

Sponsored by:

Division 2, Bioelectrochemistry, Division 6, Molecular Electrochemistry

Symposium Organizers:Fred Lisdat (Coordinator), Wildau Technical University, Germany (flisdat@th-wildau.de)

Danilo Dini, University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy

Lars Jeuken, University of Leeds, UK

Frank Marken, University of Bath, UK

Riccardo Ruffo, University of Milan Bicocca, Italy

The symposium will deal with all aspects of photo-induced changes in electroactivity

of biological systems.

This includes the study of basic phenomena but also areas of application.

The conversion of light into other forms of energy such as electrical or chemical energy

are in the focus.

Combining principles of photosynthesis and enzymatic catalysis with basic ideas

of engineering and electrochemistry contributes to recent advances.

The symposium brings together scientists who are working on different aspects

of such bioinspired, biohybrid or biomimetic systems or on

basic investigations clarifying the influence of light on electrochemical reactions.

Symposium 16:

Micro- and Nano-Scale Platforms to Study Electron Transport in

(Bio) Molecular Systems: from Fundamentals to Molecular

Devices

Sponsored by: Division 2, Bioelectrochemistry, Division 6, Molecular

Electrochemistry, Division 7, Physical Electrochemistry

Symposium Organizers:Ismael Díez-Pérez,(Coordinator), University of Barcelona, Spain (isma_diez@ub.edu)

Sabrina Antonello, University of Padova, Italy

Angel Cuesta Ciscar, University of Aberdeen, UK

Nadim Darwish, Curtin University, Australia

Giovanni Valenti, University of Bologna, Italy

This symposium intends to gather scientists working within the expanding community

of (bio)molecular electronics and related fields, who routinely exploit

electrochemical- like approaches in nano- and micro-scale platforms.

The symposium will cover all aspects of electron transfer in molecular

or biomolecular moieties that profit from an electrified interface and

where the electrochemical control has or could find an essential role.

Symposium 19:

Single Entity Electrochemistry

Sponsored by: Division 1, Analytical Electrochemistry, Division 2,

Bioelectrochemistry, Division 7, Physical Electrochemistry

22

Symposium Organizers:Pat Unwin (Coordinator), University of Warwick, UK (p.r.unwin@warwick.ac.uk)

Paolo Actis, University of Leeds, UK

Damian Arrigan, Curtis University, Australia

Stefania Rapino, University of Bologna, Italy

Single entity electrochemistry is an important and rapidly growing theme

in electrochemistry.

It deals with the electrochemical properties of individual molecules, nanoparticles

and nanotubes, the use of nanopores and nanopipettes for the detection of

biomolecules and single particles, and the study of complex surfaces

and single cells at the level of elementary processes and individual surface features.

Symposium 2

Sensors and Biosensors for Biomedical and Environmental Applications

Sponsored by:

Division 1, Analytical Electrochemistry

Division 2, Bioelectrochemistry

Disease profiling and its early detection, is a huge priority within the Southern African

and African continent. Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, malaria, waterborne diseases,

as well as cancer are among the leading health conditions that continue to impact

on population health and economics of many African countries.

In addition, the environmental monitoring of aquatic system is of especial interest

in this region. Early and reliable diagnosis is thus of strategic interest.

Diverse analytical strategies, often coupled to electrochemical characterization and

quantification, are employed in many analytical laboratories. Increasingly,

point-of-care systems have become a core focus to meet these challenges.

This Topical Meeting will provide a venue for

electroanalytical chemists and bioelectrochemists to

present their latest findings and developments in the field.

The meeting will invite submission in both the fundamental

aspects of developing new techniques, as well as the

application of those techniques (i.e. sensors, lab-on-a-chip

devices, etc.).

Topics will include:

scanning probe microscopy, bipolar electrochemistry,

single entity electrochemistry, chemical modified electrodes,

direct and mediated bioelectrocatalysis, implantable

biosensors,

lab-on-a-chip devices for bioelectroanalysis,

in-situ electrochemical TEM and

in-situ spectroelectrochemical techniques.
