Biodetection Technologies 2012
Washington, USA (June, 28-29, 2012)
The 20th conference in our Detection Technologies conference series
- is an internationally recognized event for experts in detection &
identification of biological threats. This conference will review
feedback from end-users of detection and point-of-care devices and
explore the latest R&D developments and commercialization efforts in
the cutting-edge fields of biodefense related technologies including:
- End-users, vendors, OEMs, and first-responders perspective and experience from deployed and near deployment stages
- Cost-effective/sensitive/selective/reliable detectors for low resource conditions
- Point-of-care/clinical applications for pathogen/virus/threat detection and identification
- Simple, easy-to-use devices for air-, water-, and food borne pathogens without PCR
- Point-of-care assays for resource limited, lab and clinical settings; mobile labs
- Technological challenges for rapid/early/specific sensitive detection; multi-sensing
- Reagentless vs. reagent biodetection systems
- Use Raman, Mass spectroscopy, TIRF and other spectral methods for robust biodetection
- Role of nanotechnology and system miniaturization; MEMS and bioMEMS
- Use of biochip technology; micro- and nanofluidics
- Advances in microarray and sequencing technologies
- Bioinformatics and forensics for biodefense
- Reducing false positives vs. detector sensitivity
- Field-deployable devices: portability/compatibility/reliability/scalability
- Non-PCR vs. PCR based detection techniques
- Issues of sensitivity/testing/evaluation/validation
