The World Congress of Biosensors, organised by Elsevier and 'Biosensors and Bioelectronics' with the support of Cranfield University, will take place on 26-28 May 2010 in Glasgow.
The conference will be held at Glasgow's Scottish Conference and Exhibition Centre and will consist of presentations and workshops Cranfield's reputation in the field of biomedical sensors has led to the development of products such as the mediated amperometric glucose sensors now used by people with diabetes throughout the world.
Current research and development focuses on sensors for healthcare, environmental monitoring, food safety and defence.
Medical applications include the detection of cancer and disease biomarkers, the use of optical techniques for early diagnosis and monitoring of disease and gas sensors for the detection of volatile patterns in breath and emanating from clinical samples consistent with particular diseases.
Anthony Turner, professor of biotechnology at Cranfield, will be chairing the conference.
He will be joined by Sergey Piletsky, professor of bio-organic and polymer chemistry.
