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.

In a letter dated October 2, 2024, we informed you of the candidates proposed by the current Board of the chemo- and biosensors Working Group for the upcoming board election. No further proposals were submitted from the ranks of the members. Accordingly, the election of the board will be carried out with the following people, all of whom have agreed to their candidacy:

According to the working group's Working Guidelines, 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. This means that two people are available for election for three new board positions. The roles of Chair, Deputy Chair/secretary are determined by the elected Board after the election.

All members who have provided an email address will receive a personalized link to participate in the election by email. All other members will receive the voting documents by post. The ballot envelopes will be opened and evaluated at the GDCh Office, Varrentrappstr. 40-42, 60486 Frankfurt am Main. The election results will be announced in the membership magazine, in the Nachrichten aus der Chemie and on the working group's website.

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.
