Working Group Chemo- & Biosensors

The Working Group Chemo- & Biosensors of the GDCh Division of Analytical Chemistry, founded in the late 1980s, sees its main task as bringing together the various directions in the field 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 the integration of young scientists.

The focus is on an interdisciplinary approach across 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 interface chemistry, embedding of indicators or markers in sol-gels, but also in biopolymers for stabilization for biomolecular receptors.

The interdisciplinary, international conference series European Biosensor Symposia (EBS), which originated in the German Biosensor Symposia, is traditionally closely associated with the working group and focuses on young academics, has been held in odd-numbered years since 2017.
