The lecture presented by Dr. Intisar Jamil Hamad Al-Bandar dealt with
Chemical synthesis of high quality GNRs: The optimum chemical methods for the synthesis of GNRs were identified, and surface modification of GNRs was performed by chemical methods prior to their recruitment using fluorescent hpDNA.
The lecture discussed the topic:
Characterization of GNRs: GNRs were synthesized in different aspect ratios (length to width), and surface-modified GNRs were used to characterize the dimensions using electron microscopy and their size and aspect ratios were determined.
Development of Nanoprobes: Nanoprobes were manufactured in which DNAs were looped with sequences complementary to the target sequences, the mRNAs associated with cancer.
The lecture aims to:
Elucidating the steps for developing optical nanosensors for cancer-associated mRNA diagnosis.
The lecture recommended:
The optical nanoprobe is a new tool for detecting gene expression in biological systems.
