Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to join the 2nd International Electronic Conference on Biosensors (IECB) that will be hosted online at Sciforum from 14 to 18 February 2022.

Biosensors have currently a very wide range of applications, due to their simplicity, low cost and precision, that aim at improving the 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 well-known experts worldwide who are currently working in biosensors and to provide an online forum for sharing and exchanging knowledge.

Particular attention will be given to young scientists approaching the world of biosensors by dedicating a conference session to them.

Throughout this event, we aim to cover topics including, but not limited to:

Technologies for Innovative Biosensors
Implantable and Wearable Biosensors
The Role of Biological and Chemical Recognition Elements
Microfluidics for Biosensing and Lab-on-a-chip Systems
Biosensors in POCT
Bionanotechnology and Nanomaterials for Biosensing
Advanced Applications for Health, Environment, Food and Cultural Heritage
Biosensors in Green Chemistry/Technologies

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
