Conference Description

The Bioanalytical Sensors Gordon Conference focuses on the interface of materials and biology for the better understanding of physiological processes and human disease. Emerging enabling technologies for the measurement of proteins and small molecules in cells, tissues and whole organisms will be described. The merits of novel molecular nanomaterials and instrumental approaches will also be discussed, including new separation and detection approaches.

Related Meeting

This GRC will be held in conjunction with the "Bioanalytical Sensors" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC. Refer to the associated GRS program page for more information.
