TÜBA Principal Member Prof. Gürsan Was Selected as “Fellow of RSC”

TÜBA Principal Member Prof. Kadriye Arzum Erdem Gürsan from Ege University Faculty of Pharmacy, was selected as fellow by The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC).

Saying that she was proud to be included in the list of members of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2018, along with other selected members in the The Times Newspaper dated March 15th 2016, Prof. Gürsan stated that it is a great source of pride to be able to represent Turkey in global level and she will continue to work with increased motivation and responsibility consciousness.

RSC has 175 years of history and more than 50.000 members worldwide. The RSC community, which brings together respected scientists who provide important contributions in the field of chemistry on an international platform, aims to sustain and expand high-impact scientific studies that are common in chemistry. Each member, who has made significant contributions to the field of chemistry, has been selected by RSC as the result of the evaluation made by the independent referees, and is notified to the FRSC members, while at the same time the FRSC member list is officially announced on The Times Newspaper.

Who is Prof. Kadriye Arzum Erdem Gürsan?
In 1993, she graduated from Ege University, Faculty of Pharmacy. Shr completed his master's degree in 1996 and her doctorate degree in 2000 in the same faculty in Analytical Chemistry Department. 2000-2003, she worked as an assistant professor and 2003-2009 s,he worked as an associate professor in Ege University Faculty of Pharmacy Department of Basic Pharmacy Sciences - Analytical Chemistry.

She received TÜBITAK Incentive Award in 2006 and TÜBİTAK Science Award in the field of health sciences in 2015. In addition, she was elected as the member of Women in Science and Engineering-WISE at Association of Academies and Societies of Sciences in Asia-AASSA.

Prof. Gürsan has been working on the development of electrochemical biosensors based on drugs, enzymes and nucleic acids, as well as many national and international collaborations on environmental, food and health applications. Prof. Gürsan’s scientific researches are based on single and multiple measurement based development of new generation biosensor/aptasensor technologies working with the principle of “drug-DNA interactions, aptamer-protein interactions, nucleic acid hybridization based on sequence selection and infectious diseases and” “disposable principle” for determination of biomarkers practices. Prof. Arzum Erdem Gürsan aims to develop magnetic particles, carbon nanotubes, graphene and graphene nanomaterials, nanoblocks, nanoclabs, nanoparticles, dendrimers, conductive polymers, and electrochemical biosensors based on biopolymers.

She was awarded with TÜBA-GEBİP Award in 2001 and elected as TÜBA Associate Member in 2007. She became full member in 2016. Prof. Arzum Erdem Gürsan has been working as a professor in the Department of Basic Pharmacy – Analytical Chemistry at Ege University since 2009.
