Chemo- & biosensors
Founded at the end of the 1980s, the Chemo- & Biosensors Working Group of the GDCh Division of Analytical Chemistry sees its main task as bringing together the various fields in the area of biochemical and chemical sensors, pooling activities, promoting the exchange of experience between the different areas of detection principles and between universities, research institutions and industry, as well as integrating early-career scientists.
The interdisciplinary approach across the various disciplines, detection principles and applications is the main focus: from materials science to life sciences, from process control and measurement technology to bioanalysis and diagnostics, miniaturisation and parallelisation, the challenges of interfacial chemistry, the embedding of indicators or markers in sol-gels, and also in biopolymers for stabilisation of biomolecular receptors.
The interdisciplinary, international conference series European Biosensor Symposia (EBS), which originated from the German Biosensor Symposia, has traditionally been closely associated with the Working Group and focuses on early-career scientists in academia; since 2017, it has taken place in odd-numbered years.
