Development of BioSensors

The importance of nanotechnology and chemistry in the development of biosensors.

Karolien Jans

The use of biosensors is increasingly popular in fundamental biological studies, health science research, drug discovery and clinical diagnosis.  Biosensors preferably allow for a quantitative measurement of biomolecular interactions in real-time without requiring a labeling procedure. Today, the focus is geared towards the design of small, low-cost, stable and sensitive biosensor systems.  This imposes severe demands on the applied (bio)chemistry, the type of physico-chemical transducer and the integration of both parts into a lab-on-a-chip platform. In this talk, we will highlight the importance of nanotechnology and suitable chemistry in the development of such biosensor systems.Location: UHasselt, Campus Diepenbeek, Agoralaan, gebouw D, Auditorium H3

Successful with Social Media

LifeTechLimburg wants to support the dynamic life sciences network in the region. Therefore we invited Jo Caudron of Dear Media to give an inspiring lecture about Social Media.

First of all we asked him to give a glance of what the future will offer. Smart-phones, tablets and an overload of apps are dominating the market. Which opportunities do they offer? The developments in the market will be illustrated with speaking examples.

In the second part, Jo Caudron will show us the power of Social Media by presenting some case studies. After the presentation you will understand better how you can use them in an efficient and effective way. We focus on LinkedIn and Twitter and on the use of applications to connect your social media.
