DeDNAed @ MAIN Focus Day on Quantum Dots
The MAIN research center at the Technical University of Chemnitz (TUC) hosted its MAIN Focus Day on Quantum Dots on 18 January 2024.
The event consisted of 2 research seminars held at the MAIN facilities and a colloquium in the central auditorium.
Julia Hann presented a poster showing the possibility of integrating quantum dots with the DNA origami on surfaces, using the example of our activities in nanoparticles and biomolecules with DeDNAed.

First Joint Publication for DeDNAed
In the field of medical diagnostics, the identification and measurement of biomarkers have become essential tools for early disease detection and treatment monitoring.
Within DeDNAed, Le Mans UniversitÃĐ (France) and the research centre TECNALIA Research & Innovation (Spain) focus their research on the detection of interleukin-6, a cytokine which can be used to monitor various human diseases and treatment responses. Conventional assays, such as ELISAs, are time-consuming and require large sample volumes. Therefore, the development of a fast, sensitive and selective detection method is critical.
Researchers from DeDNAed proposed a sensing method based on the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (#SERS), a technique that emerges as a promising alternative for the highly sensitive IL-6 detection.
They developed a label-free SERS immunoassay, achieving an impressive limit of detection of 0.91 pg mLâ1 (0.04 pM), ten times lower than ELISA. Moreover, this label-free approach offers a simple, and fast (~90 min) assay for direct IL-6 monitoring.
This study, “Label-free SERS for rapid identification of interleukin 6 based on intrinsic SERS fingerprint of antibodyâgold nanoparticles conjugate,” published in December 2023 in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, showcased the collaborative success between the University of Le Mans and the research centre TECNALIA thanks to authors Marjan Majdinasab, Aicha Azziz, Qiqian Liu, VerÃģnica Mora-Sanz, Nerea Briz, Mathieu Edely and Marc Lamy de la Chapelle.
