As advances in biology, engineering, materials science and data analytics converge, biosensors are poised to transform how we detect, monitor and understand the world around us. Fully realising that potential requires a united community excited to turn scientific innovation into solutions that reach the people and sectors that need them most.

Sensing Technologies: Biosensors, the first meeting in a new Nature Conferences flagship series on sensing technologies, is designed to help build that community. Over three days, pioneering researchers, technology developers and industry leaders will come together to share discoveries, address emerging challenges, and cultivate the collaborations needed to turn scientific breakthroughs into societal benefits.

Scientific Presentations

From biosensing breakthroughs to intelligent technologies with real-world impact.

The rapid evolution of biosensing is redefining what can be measured, monitored and understood across healthcare, environmental monitoring, and industry. New sensing modalities, advanced materials, miniaturised devices, and increasingly sophisticated data analysis are creating unprecedented opportunities to generate actionable insights in real time.

Yet scientific advances alone do not guarantee impact. Bringing biosensing innovations into widespread use requires closer integration of fundamental research, technology development and end-user needs, ensuring that promising discoveries can be translated into accessible and deployable solutions.

Sensing Technologies: Biosensors will bring together researchers, technology developers, and industry leaders. The meeting will explore the full spectrum of biosensing approaches, from molecular recognition and bioelectronics to intelligent, integrated sensing systems. Organized around the themes of Materials, Devices and Systems, and Applied Biosensing, the programme will span the entire development pathway, from advances in sensing materials and device engineering through to integrated platforms and real-world applications. By connecting discoveries across disciplines with the needs of users and stakeholders, the meeting will help build the partnerships needed to accelerate the translation of biosensing breakthroughs into real-world impact.

Key topics

The programme will cover the full biosensing innovation pathway — from materials and devices to intelligent systems, translation and real-world use.

Explore how biosensors can support earlier detection, continuous monitoring and more personalised care. Examine how these technologies can become more accurate, more affordable, and better suited to real-world healthcare settings.

Learn about the technologies that move with the body, from flexible and skin-interfaced devices to implantable and biointegrated systems. Highlighting the need for sensors that are comfortable, reliable, data-rich and ready for wider adoption.

Explore the technologies that can sense, interpret and interact with the body, including soft electronics, neural interfaces and implantable devices. Learn how bioelectronic systems can become safer, more scalable and more useful in healthcare and beyond.

Discover the portable, rapid and affordable technologies that can reduce reliance on centralised laboratory testing. Explore how sensing can become more accessible, accurate and usable across clinical, home and low-resource settings.
