9th International Conference on Bio-Sensing Technology

We are delighted to announce the upcoming 9th International Conference on Bio-sensing Technology, which will take place in Kuala Lumpur. As a fast-growing hub for biotechnology and medical research in Southeast Asia, Kuala Lumpur provides the perfect environment for conference attendees to connect, collaborate, and engage with presentations of cutting-edge solutions to real-world challenges in the bio-sensing technology field. Kuala Lumpur has modern infrastructure, a strategic location, and strong support for science and technology.

Bio-sensing technologies have a vital role to play in in the growth and adoption of new technologies for health, environment and agricultural applications. From detecting infectious diseases and monitoring health conditions to ensuring food safety and environmental quality. As demand grows for faster, more sensitive, and reliable detection methods for monitoring and point of use measurements the need for interdisciplinary research is ever more critical.

Researchers worldwide are working to advance bio-sensing technologies through the development of novel surfaces, the use of advanced materials, the integration of cutting-edge transducers and instrumentation, and innovative approaches to biomarker discovery and analysis. At the same time, secure transmission, interpretation, and real-time analysis of data remain essential for the successful implementation and scalability of these technologies. The continued need for connectivity and interoperability continues to fuel innovation in the bio-sensing technologies.

This conference will provide attendees a dynamic platform to explore the latest developments in the field. Attendees can expect a diverse range of sessions and presentations that cover the discovery and application of bio-sensing technologies. For example, advancements in novel sensor surfaces that enhance specificity and sensitivity along with new transduction and measurement techniques.

Sessions will also explore how these technologies can be integrated with other technologies such as microfluidics for future applications such as continuous monitoring and point of use technologies.

History

The 1st International Conference in Bio-Sensing Technology took place in Bristol, UK in 2009. The success of this paved the way for the 2nd International Conference in Bio-Sensing Technology (Amsterdam, The Netherlands 2011). The 3rd one took place in Sitges, Spain in 2013, the 4th in Lisbon, Portugal in 2015 and the 5th in Riva del Garda, Italy, the 6^th in 2019 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The 7^th in 2022 in Sitges, Spain.

These conferences are held in the “in between years” of Elsevier’s World Congress on Biosensors that is also held every 2 years.

In 2011 we had more than 350 attendees and this has now grown to almost 400!
