New developments in Spanish research on (bio)electrochemical sensors discussed at ELECTROBIONET scientific conference
Members of the Spanish network of electrochemical sensors and biosensors met in Sevilla to discuss new advances and challenges in their field of research.
ELECTROBIONET, a thematic network funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, held a scientific conference on new sensor platforms for analysis in biological environments. This event, which took place on November 24 at the University of Seville, was dedicated to sharing significant advances and innovative discoveries in the field of electrochemical sensor research.
Dr Giulio Rosati participated in the conference presenting the work on electrochemical nanobiosensors for diagnostics carried out by the ICN2 Nanobioelectronics and Biosensors Group, which is one of the 14 research groups from universities and centres from all over Spain that make up ELECTROBIONET. The event addressed a wide range of topics, from advances in the preparation and characterisation of new nanomaterials and transduction and miniaturisation technologies, to the application of sensor devices in clinical diagnosis and the development of algorithms to model their response.
The conference programme also included an invited lecture by Dr Marisela Vélez Tirado, from the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry of the CSIC, who shared valuable knowledge and innovative perspectives on the electrochemical detection of the activity of respiratory complexes in mitochondrial membranes.
The conference not only served as a platform for the presentation of scientific results, but also as a space to foster collaboration and exchange of ideas between researchers involved in the study of electrochemical sensors.
ELECTROBIONET is a thematic network created in 2015, which integrates Spanish research groups with extensive experience in the development of electrochemical sensors and biosensors in all its facets, from fundamental research to the design and development of applications of these devices. Its members lead national and international projects in the sector.
