Welcome from the Chairs
Dear Biosensors Community,
It is our pleasure to invite you to join the 5th International Electronic Conference on Biosensors (IECB 2025), which will be hosted online from 26 to 28 May 2025.
The aim of this online conference is to gather esteemed experts from around the world who are currently working in the field of biosensors and to provide an online forum for sharing and exchanging knowledge. Highly experienced researchers will be invited to share their important advancements in the field.
Particular attention will also be given to young scientists approaching the world of biosensors in order to stimulate their participation in discussions on the topic.
Throughout the event we aim to cover—among others—the following topics:
1. Artificial Intelligence in Biosensors
2. Ingestible, Implantable, and Wearable Biosensors
3. Smartphone-based Biosensors
4. The Evolution of Biological Recognition Elements in Biosensors
5. Nanomaterials and Smart Surfaces in Biosensors
6. Technological Advancements in Biosensor Actuators
7. Paper-based Biosensors
8. Optical and Photonic Biosensors
We hope that you will join us in presenting your work at IECB 2025 and be part of this stimulating online experience.
Kind regards,
Professor Giovanna Marrazza and Dr. Sara Tombelli
Chairs of the 5th International Electronic Conference on Biosensors
Event Chairs
Prof. Giovanna Marrazza is a full professor in Analytical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry “Ugo Schiff” of the University of Florence, Italy. She is the Editor-in-Chief of Biosensors, an open access journal devoted to studies related to the science and technology of biosensors and biosensing. She was the President of the Course of Study in Chemistry Degree, at this University (2017 – 2021). She was a visiting professor at University of Cranfield (UK) (2010-2014). She is a distinguished Visiting Professor of the Faculty of Pharmacy "Iuliu Haţieganu" University of Medicine and & Pharmacy, Cluj-Napoca (Romania) from since 2017. She is a member of the steering board of Italian Sensors and Microsystems Group (2017 - at present). She is member of Italian Sensor Group, Italian Chemistry Society (2010-at present). She was coordinator of Coordinator of Italian Sensor Group, Italian Chemistry Society (2016 -2018). Her teaching activity is in Analytical Chemistry Courses for graduate and under graduate students in Chemistry (2001- at present). Her research is focused on new biosensing principles containing nanomaterials and modified interfaces with nucleic acids, enzymes, antibodies, bacteria, and molecular imprinted polymers. She is an expert in the design of procedures suitable for biosensor devices such as microflow systems, thick-film technology, and nanodispensing technologies. She participated in several national and international projects. She is currently a unit leader in national and international projects.
Tombelli, Sara is research director at the Institute of Applied Physics (IFAC-CNR) in Florence, Italy. Her research activity is focused on analytical chemistry, biosensor development and optical sensing platform design and development for clinical applications. She has also experience in intracellular nanosensors. On the above topics she has contributed more than 140 publications on international refereed journals, books and conference proceedings (H-index=40, Scopus). She participated in several European Projects (Nanodem, Hemospec, Careman, Gapogrowth) and in other national and international projects. She is research unit scientific leader in several national projects. She has been reviewer and monitor for the evaluation of international projects in the frame of the European Community research programs. She received the National Scientific Habilitation (ASN) as full professor in Analytical Chemistry (Italian Ministry for Research).

It is the authors' responsibility to identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of clinical research. If there is no conflict, please state "The authors declare no conflicts of interest." This should be conveyed in a separate "Conflict of Interest" statement preceding the "Acknowledgments" and "References" sections at the end of the manuscript. Any financial support for the study must be fully disclosed in the "Acknowledgments" section.
MDPI, the publisher of the Sciforum.net platform, is an open access publisher. We believe authors should retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Hence, by submitting an abstract to this conference, you retain the copyright to the work, but you grant MDPI the non-exclusive right to publish this abstract online on the Sciforum.net platform. This means you can easily submit your full paper (with the abstract) to any scientific journal at a later stage and transfer the copyright to its publisher if required.
Publication Opportunity
1. Biosensors Journal Publication
Participants in this conference are cordially invited to contribute a full manuscript to the conference's Special Issue, published in Biosensors (ISSN 2079-6374, Impact Factor 5.2), with a 20% discount on the publication fee. Details of the special issue will be announced here later. All submitted papers will undergo MDPI’s standard peer-review procedure. The abstracts should be cited and noted on the first page of the paper.
Please note if you have IOAP /association discounts, conference discounts will be combined with IOAP/association discounts. Conference discounts cannot be combined with reviewer vouchers.
Carefully read the rules outlined in the 'Instructions for Authors' on the journal’s website and ensure that your submission adheres to these guidelines.
