Oral and poster abstracts are now invited on the following topics and should be submitted using the online abstract submission system. (visit:www.biosensingconference.com)

The abstract deadline for oral and poster submissions is: 8th April 2010

1. Biomarkers
Development and discovery of new biological molecules and systems for integration in bio-sensing applications. For example, novel molecules integrated with silicon components at the micron and nano-scales; biological targets for sensing technologies, for example new disease markers that can be used as a target for applications such as rapid diagnostics. The use of biomarkers also includes aspects of immobilization and stabilization.
2. Sensor technology
Novel sensing technologies developed for bio-sensing applications including optical, electrochemical, piezoelectric or magnetic measurements; novel sensors for bio-imaging. Micro and nano fabrication technologies used to develop and manufacture bio/sensors.
3. Instrumentation and data processing
Challenges associated with measuring signals generated by biosensor technologies to enable the utilization of bio-sensing systems. Potential solutions relating to the development of new instrumentation, signal and image processing, data analysis and communications.
4. System Integration
Issues associated with integrating technologies to produce a working bio-sensing system. This could include technical interfacing challenges such as sample introduction and handling through to aspects of commercialisation and adoption of bio-sensing technology into chosen markets.
