Recent Advancements in Miniaturized Sensing Platforms for Biomolecular Monitoring

In-situ biomolecular monitoring has shown great potential in generating useful information about the physiological status of a living being. With recent advancements in nanotechnology, materials, electronics, fabrication methods, imaging tools, and data processing capabilities, researchers are now able to merge all of this in miniaturized form factors such as wearables, implantables, ingestibles, and point-of-care devices. These devices with their novel transducing elements and analytical approaches, are capable of generating real-time biomarker information from humans, plants, and animals, which eventually relate to various disease development. This symposium solicits emerging research in the field of miniaturized sensing technologies with a focus on cross-disciplinary knowledge integration towards in-situ biomolecular detection. With the global aim of minimizing disease development, this interdisciplinary symposium will bring together the brightest minds who have been using novel analytical approaches to address these issues, and work towards the development of future miniaturized technologies for decentralized physiological monitoring.
