This is a great possibility to learn hosting skills in friendly e nvironment and create connections for future. Everyone is welcome to join\ , BioCity Turku will offer the lunch.\n\nIf you got interested\, please se nd an email to biocityturku@bioscience.fi\n\n \;\n\nThe Minteer Group focuses on improving the abiotic-biotic interface between biocatalysts and electrode surfaces for enhanced bioelectrocatalysis. These biocatalysts i nclude microbial cells\, organelles (mitochondria and thylakoid membranes) \, redox proteins\, and oxidoreductase enzymes. We design electrode struct ures for enhanced flux at electrode surfaces for biosensor and biofuel cel l applications. The group utilizes a variety of electroanalytical techniqu es (linear polarization\, cyclic voltammetry\, differential pulse voltamme try\, differential pulse amperometry)\, as well as a variety of biological and spectroscopic techniques to accomplish these goals. The group also ha s an active program in electrocatalysis for synthetic organic electrochemi stry.\n\n \;\n\nSelected publications\n\nOlja Simoska\, Dale A. Cummin gs Jr.\, Erin M.
