Working Group Chemo- & Biosensors

The Working Group Chemo- & Biosensors of the GDCh Division of Analytical Chemistry sees its main task as bringing together the various directions in the field of biochemical and chemical sensors, bundling activities, promoting the exchange of experience between the various areas of detection principles and between universities, research institutions and industry, as well as the integration of young scientists.

The focus is on the interdisciplinary approach across the various disciplines, detection principles and applications: from materials science to life sciences, from process control and measurement technology to bioanalytics and diagnostics, miniaturization and parallelization, problems of interfacial chemistry, embedding of indicators or markers in sol-gels, but also in biopolymers for stabilization for biomolecular receptors.

On 31 December 2024, the term of office of the Board of the chemo- and biosensors Working Group ends and you, dear members of the Working Group, are called upon by this letter to nominate candidates for the Board election who

 

• have declared their willingness to stand as a candidate,
• Members of the working group are and
• have the support of three members of the working group (the current board members are happy to support your candidate suggestions after consultation).

According to the Working Guidelines of the working group, the Board consists of three members (1x Chair, 1x Deputy Chair, 1x secretary/additional deputy), each of whom is elected for a period of four years. Direct re-election is permitted once. The current Board is composed as follows: see above under "Board".

Dr. Mark-Steven Steiner has indicated his willingness to stand for re-election. Prof. Dr. Antje Baeumner and Prof. Dr. Fred Lisdat are not available for re-election. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of them for their successful commitment to the working group and the GDCh as a whole.

For the three board positions up for election, the current Board presents – in addition to your nominations – the following two proposals:

If no written proposals for the nomination of additional candidates are received by the GDCh Office by October 25, 2024 (attention: Maike Fries; m.fries@gdch.de ), the election will be held as an Online election with the persons indicated above from October 28, 2024.

This interdisciplinary, international conference series with a focus on young academics has taken place every two years since 2017 and has its origins in the successful German Biosensor Symposia.
