11th International Workshop on Biosensors and Bioanalytical Microtechniques for Environmental, Food and Clinical Analysis in Regensburg, Germany.

Abstract

From 26 September to 30 September 2015, the 11th International Workshop on Biosensors and Bioanalytical Microtechniques for Environmental, Food and Clinical Analysis (BBMEC) took place in Regensburg, Germany (Fig. 1). Since the first meeting in 1994 in Paris (France) organized by MarieClaire Hennion, BBMEC has evolved from amainly Europeanbased biosensor conference to a global conference. It gathers about 150 researchers from over 20 countries. The conference was organized by the Institute of Analytical Chemistry, Chemoand Biosensors (IACCB) headed by Antje J. Baeumner together with the International Association of Environmental Analytical Chemistry (IAEAC). For the first time a pre-conference that specifically targeted graduate students and postdocs was organized by graduate students from the IACCB following a concept used with successful Gordon Research Conferences.
