Position: Leading Scientist (Professor, DSc)

Institution attended: Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Plants and Microorganisms, Russian Academy of Sciences (Saratov, Russia).

Scientific interests: Biophysical chemistry of plant-microbe interactions, development and applications of spectroscopic approaches.

Lecture title: Infrared spectroscopy in studying biofunctionalised gold nanoparticles.

Lecture abstract: Biofunctionalised Au nanoparticles (BF-Au-NPs), with bio(macro)molecules attached to the NP surface, are used in a variety of applications. Infrared spectroscopy of such BF-Au-NPs and products of their biospecific interactions will be considered.
