Bioinspired and Biomaterials
LBioinspired and photonic materials for advanced sensing and diagnostics
This symposium explores light-matter interactions at biointerfaces, covering bioinspired photonic materials, optical sensing platforms, and dynamic, AI-driven systems for health, environmental, and smart materials applications.
Scope:
The symposium focuses on the interaction of light with biological surfaces and its application in advanced sensing technologies. It brings together researchers from materials science, photonics, chemistry, biology, and bioengineering to discuss advances in bio-photonic materials, optical mechanisms at interfaces, and multifunctional sensing platforms.
Key topics include:
- Bioinspired and hybrid photonic materials: Nanostructured, polymeric, and cellulose-based systems with tunable optical properties, including plasmonic, photonic crystal, and luminescent surfaces.
- Light-biointerface interactions: absorption, scattering, fluorescence, photothermal, and photoacoustic effects in biological and hybrid materials.
- Advanced sensing platforms: Label-free biosensors, colorimetric and photonic sensors, microfluidics-integrated optical devices, and wearable or implantable optical systems.
- Materials and fabrication innovations: Nanostructuring, self-assembly, layer-by-layer assembly, electrospinning, and 3D printing for functional bio-optical interfaces.
- Sustainable and emerging applications: Biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials for health, environmental monitoring, and smart devices.
- AI and data-driven sensing: Machine learning for optical signal analysis, pattern recognition, and smart decision-making.
- Multiscale and dynamic bio-optical systems: Stimuli-responsive surfaces, adaptive biointerfaces, and real-time monitoring from molecular to microscale.
The symposium encourages contributions from fundamental science to applied technologies, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and highlighting new directions in bio-photonic sensing, diagnostics, and smart interfaces. Expected outcomes include scientific exchange, networking, and high-impact publications in journals such as Advanced Optical Materials, ACS Applied Biomaterials, and Biosensors and Bioelectronics.
