Dublin, Feb. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "BioEngineering, BioDetection & BioSensors" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

We welcome you to the BioEngineering, BioDetection and BioSensors to be held at the Marriott Coronado Island Resort & Spa, Coronado Island, California on April 1-2, 2019.

BioEngineering 2019 brings together the following topics:

• BioMEMS and Microfluidics-based Devices in Various Application Areas
• Biofabrication Technologies
• Tissue Engineering
• Synthetic Biology

BioDetection and Biosensors 2019 - Rapid growth in the development of biosensors has revolutionized the efficacy and sensitivity of analytical devices across Health, Food and Defenses industries. Yet many challenges remain for such devices and competing forms of assay are still relevant, with some still out performing and providing better value than biosensor-based technologies. Topic and challenges to be discussed include, but are not limited to, Biosensors, Nano Materials and Systems, Next Generation Sequencing for Pathogen Detection, Rapid Biodetection and Threat Identification, Single Molecule Analysis.

There will be excellent opportunities for networking with researchers from academia and industry, providing a platform for sharing insights and addressing challenges that often lead to mutually beneficial collaborations.

Delegates receive full access to the co-located and parallel conference track focusing on BioSensors and BioDetection and the co-located exhibit hall featuring companies displaying the latest technologies, products and services.

Who Should Attend:

• Academic Researchers
• Students and Postdoctoral fellows are encouraged to submit poster abstracts, register for the conference, attend the conference and present their research work in posters - this provides an excellent opportunity for scientific exchange and network with colleagues and fellow researchers in the field
• Scientific researchers from industry as well as business development professionals from industry - given the delegates at these conferences represent a blend of academics and industry participants, these conferences represent an excellent networking opportunity for industry researchers and for licensing and business development professionals from companies
• Vendors offering technologies, tools, products and services to the industry - These conferences provide an excellent venue for vendors that provide innovative technologies and tools to the industry to network and engage with prospective researchers/end-users since these conferences bring together the key opinion leaders (KOLs) in the field.
