Session Chair: Daniel Hill, Universitat de Valencia |
| | 08:15 | Conducting Polymer Devices for Label-free Monitoring of in vitro Toxicology
Roisin Owens, Associate Professor, Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de St Etienne, France
Electronic methods for label-free monitoring of cells in vitro are emerging as alternatives to traditional, optical methods. Organic electronic devices offer an opportunity to create low-cost, whole cell biosensors, with applications in drug development, toxicology monitoring or diagnostics. | 09:00 |  | Keynote Presentation Recent Advances in Sensor Technologies for mHealthcare
Christopher Lowe, Professor, University of Cambridge, Director, Cambridge Academy of Therapeutic Sciences, United Kingdom
This talk will discuss the motivation behind the global interest in introducing mobile healthcare systems, including the myriad constraints felt by healthcare systems in both developed and developing nations, high population growth, disease prevalence and the rapid rise in mobile phone penetration in developing nations. The concept of lifetime diagnostic and disease management, the types of physiological and biochemical parameters to be measured and the challenges in making discrete and real-time measurements on patients using non-invasive, minimally invasive and invasive sensor technologies will be covered. Examples will be given from sensor technology being developed in the speaker’s laboratory in Cambridge. |
| 10:00 | Coffee and Networking in Exhibition Hall | 10:45 | Printed Carbon Materials for Electroanalytical Diagnostics in Woundcare
Duncan Sharp, Senior Lecturer, Leeds Metropolitan University, United Kingdom
The development and characterisation of novel electroanalytical technologies based on pad-printed carbon electrodes are detailed, which may offer the potential for in-situ biochemical analysis of wound exudate to enhance woundcare and infection diagnostics. | 11:30 |  | Keynote Presentation Capacitive Bioanalysis at the Surface of a Gold Chip
Bo Mattiasson, Professor, Lund University, Sweden
The capacitive biosensor system will be presented. Results from immunoassays, DNA-based assays and micro-imprint based assays will be presented. Target molecules such as microcystins from cyanobacteria, resistance genes from pathogenic organisms, serum proteins etc. |

Session Chair: Christopher Lowe, University of Cambridge |
| | 14:00 | Developments in Silicon Photonic Sensors for Bioanalytical Applications
Daniel Hill, Project Coordinator, Universitat De Valencia, Spain
Silicon nanophotonic sensors are attractive for analytical biosensing due to their small footprint, high Q-factors, and compatibility with on-chip optics and microfluidics enabling integrated sensor arrays for compact lab-on-chip applications. Here we review developments over the past 5 years with a focus on three European collaborations: SABIO, InTopSens and CanDo. | 14:45 | Microengineered Enzyme-based Biosensors for in-vivo and in-vitro Evaluations
Sara Talaei, Senior Researcher, Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne, Switzerland
The presentation will give an overview of our recent activities in enzyme based biosensors. This includes in vitro measurement of metabolites as well as in vivo measurement of neurotransmitters and glucose. | 15:30 | Coffee and Networking in Exhibition Hall | 15:30 | Close of Conference |
