Biosensors 2012

Biosensors World Congress 2012, Cancun, Mexico, 15-18 May

The Biosensors World Congress 2012 is now only a few weeks away; it takes place in Cancun, Mexico, 15-18 May.  The last meeting, which took place in Glasgow, UK, in 2010, attracted 1100 delegates and this is sure to be another great opportunity to see some of the best new work in biosensors.  We’re disappointed not to be attending this time, but look out for flyers from Analyst and Analytical Methods with the latest information on the journal: you can even use the QR code to access more online!

Chair of the conference is Professor Anthony Turner of Linköping University, Sweden, who was recently presented with the RSC Theophilus Redwood Award.  Take a look at Tony’s paper in Analyst in our web theme on Materials for Detection:
