Session: Next Generation Biosensors and Biodetection Techniques |
| | 09:30 |  | Keynote Presentation Borrowing from Nature - Next Generation Biomimetic Analytical Platforms
Dermot Diamond, Professor, Principal Investigator, Insight Centre for Data Analytics, National Centre for Sensor Research, Dublin City University, Ireland
The ‘Internet of Things’ envisages ubiquitous networks of millions of embedded sensors. Currently chem/bio-sensing are peripheral to this vision due to the complexity of the technology. To bridge the gap between current capability and future demand, new concepts in molecular sensing will emerge underpinned by revolutionary breakthroughs in materials science. |

Session: Point of Care and Field Ready Pathogen Detection Devices |
| | 09:30 |  | Keynote Presentation Recent Advances in Detection and Biosensors
Christopher Lowe, Professor, University of Cambridge, Director, Cambridge Academy of Therapeutic Sciences, United Kingdom
Many extravagant claims have been made in the past two decades about the likely impact of biosensors on the diagnostics industry: In reality, the current market size for biosensors represents ~14% of the global diagnostics market and is dominated entirely by sensors for one analyte, glucose. This presentation looks at the need for, and advantages of biosensors, the technology that has been developed over the past two decades to address these perceived needs, but, in reality, has failed to do so, and describes newer technologies which may circumvent the problems and suggests how they are likely to have a much more significant impact in the future, particularly in sectors such as medical diagnostics and biodetection. Examples of optical and acoustic technologies will be given. |
| 10:00 | Molecular Pathogen Detection and the Challenge of Preanalytics for POCT
Till Bachmann, Reader, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom
MDx at point of care at competitive costs remains an unmatched task which is mostly defined by the requirement of molecular detection technologies for highly processed and pure samples. We addressed this task at the level of sensitivity, specificity, and kinetics of the implemented biochip technologies. | 10:30 | Coffee Break and Networking in the Exhibition Hall | 11:15 | BSI Performs Rapid and Quantitative Serological Assays: Prospects For Use in the Near-Patient Setting and the Field
