Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to join the 1st International Electronic Conference on Biosensors (IECB) that will be hosted online from 2 to 17 November 2020 at https://IECB2020.sciforum.net.
The birth of biosensors dates back to the early 1960s, when Clark and Lyons (1962) introduced the concept of using an enzyme coupled with an electrode as a reagent. After decades of intense research, biosensors attracted the attention of a large scientific community, and they currently have a very wide range of applications due to their simplicity, low cost, and precision that aim at improving quality of life. This range covers their use for environmental monitoring, disease detection, food safety, defense, drug discovery, and many more.
The scope of this online conference is to get together worldwide well-known experts who are currently working in biosensors technologies and to provide an online forum for presenting and discussing new results.
Throughout this event, we aim to cover, among others, the following topics:
-
Technologies for innovative biosensors
-
Bioengineered and biomimetic receptors
-
Microfluidics for biosensing
-
Biosensors for emergency situations
-
Nanotechnologies and nanomaterials for biosensors
-
Intra- and extracellular biosensing
-
Advanced applications in clinical, environmental, food safety, and cultural heritage fields
-
Biosensors for pathogens
-
Posters
We hope you will join us and present your work at IECB to be part of this stimulating online experience.
Kind regards,Giovanna Marrazza and Sara Tombelli

Prof. Dr. M. Teresa Fernández Abedul
Universidad de Oviedo, Oviedo, Spain (https://selectbiosciences.com/conferences/biographies.aspx?conf=loace2016&speaker=324225);
M. Teresa Fernández Abedul received her Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1995 at the University of Oviedo, Spain. She was working as Associate Professor of Analytical Chemistry at this University since 2002, and as Full Professor since 2019. She is co-author of more than 80 JCR indexed articles, 30 books chapters and is editor of the book “Laboratory Methods in Dynamic Electroanalysis” (Elsevier, 2020). She has been co-advisor of 9 PhD Thesis, 11 Master Thesis (and 8 PhD Research Seminars) as well as 13 Degree Thesis and other research works. Her current research interests are the development of low-cost electroanalytical (bio)devices using innovative approaches (e.g. paper-based assays) and the integration of electrochemistry with bioassays (e.g. DNA isothermal amplification) for interesting applications.

Prof. Dr. Sergey Shleev
Department of Biomedical Science, Faculty of Health and Society, Malmö University, SE-205 06 Malmö, Sweden (http://forskning.mah.se/en/id/hssesh);
Sergey Shleev received his PhD in biochemistry from A.N. Bach Institute of Biochemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, in 2001. After that, he held various positions at Swedish Universities (Lund and Malm;) until 2011, when he became an Associate Professor in biomedical technology at Malmö University, Sweden. During the same year he also habilitated at the Institute of Biochemistry, Russia. From 2013 he is a Professor in biomedical technology at Malmö University. His main scientific and technological interests are studies of complex redox enzymes and their applications in bioelectronics operating in vivo and ex vivo. Due to his interest in advanced biomedical analysis and technology, especially non-invasive devices including wearables, in 2017 he established a private Swedish company, APTUSENS AB (www.aptusens.com), which provides advanced, combined biomedical and IT services to fitness-oriented and health-conscious individuals, as well as private and public organizations. His current publication record includes 5 book chapters, 3 monographs, 14 review papers, 116 research articles, and 9 patents/patent applications (h-index: 46; i10-index: 110; Google Scholar Citations, July 2020).
