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

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.
