Biosensors 2025

For more than 30 years, this meeting has catalysed interactions to further this ever-expanding area. Biosensors harness the exquisite recognition capabilities of biological systems and combine them with physicochemical transducers to deliver simple, easy to use diagnostic systems for an ever-expanding range of applications to improve health, wellbeing, and the environment.

The program features daily plenary presentations followed by parallel sessions comprising a rigorously refereed selection of submitted papers and highly interactive poster sessions. Selected high quality selected oral contributions will be included as extended keynote presentations.

Topics will include:

• Bioelectronics (including biocomputing, bio-fuel and photovoltaic cells, and electronic noses)

• Commercial biosensors, manufacturing and markets

• Nucleic acid-based sensors and aptasensors

• Enzyme-based biosensors

• Immunosensors

• Lab-on-a-chip, multiplexed and multimodal sensors

• Microfluidics and immobilisation technology

• Wearable biosensors and personal mobile health

• Nanobiosensors, nanomaterials & nanoanalytical systems

• Natural & synthetic receptors (including MIPs)

• Organism-, whole cell- and organ-based biosensors

• Printed biosensors and microfabrication

• Proteomics, single-cell analysis and cancer-cell detection

• Signal transduction technology

• Single molecule detection

• Theranostics, implantable, ingestible and resorbable sensors

• CRISPR-based biosensors

Welcome from the Congress Chairs

Dear Biosensors Community,

We are delighted to bring Biosensors 2025 back to Europe, which is playing a key role in driving some of the most exciting new commercial applications in biochips, wearable sensors and telecommunication interfaces.

As with previous congresses in the series, we look forward to welcoming more than 1,500 delegates from all over the world to Lisbon in 2025.  This premier event for the biosensor community - the largest in the field - will celebrate its 35th anniversary with another excellent line-up of daily plenary presentations followed by parallel sessions comprising a rigorously refereed selection of submitted papers and most interactive poster sessions.  In addition to invited lectures, high quality selected oral contributions will be included as extended keynote presentations.

Lisbon has recently been voted Europe's Leading City Destination 2024 by the World Travel Awards and the Congress Centre will provide world-class facilities for our event. An historical city, Lisbon offers a mix of contemporary culture alongside old customs and rich architecture – plus an excellent climate!

We promise we’ll do our best to make Biosensors 2025 in Lisbon a very special event for all attendees and we look forward to welcoming you in Portugal with all our heart.

Thank you.

Arben and Koji
