“Biosensors for Pandemics 2021: Reliable and efficient nanotech-based diagnostics in emergency situations” is an “ICN2 Severo Ochoa Workshop on Health” – 2nd edition of an Online conference that will address main problems scientific community is facing nowadays for COVID-19 pandemics. The Institute for Advanced Chemistry for Catalonia (IQAC-CSIC) which coordinate the Point of Care tests for the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 (POC4CoV) together with the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) participate in this event.
The idea is to get again together worldwide well known experts in biosensing technologies who are working currently in COVID-19 diagnostics or have a great potential for application of their technologies in the near future. This conference is also addressed to specialists in virology, epidemiology and other health areas and communication technologies that are crucial for guiding biosensing community and their diagnostics ideas using biosensors in the right way. A virtual round table providing answers to participants and sharing ideas between speakers is also previewed. We are looking for both Oral, FlashPoster and ePoster contributions that will be shared with an Open-access to all the participants.
A call for publications on COVID-19 related Biosensing technologies, is also planned in collaboration with “Biosensors and Bioelectronics”, the principal international journal devoted to research, design development and application of biosensors and bioelectronics. We encourage possible participants to stay tune in order to receive further info for this special issue.
