EVENT CEA-Leti
Workshop "Microneedles for Biosensing"
Wearable analytical devices capable of minimally invasive and real-time detection of biomarkers are revolutionizing the autonomous and continuous monitoring of bodily indicators. Interstitial fluid (ISF), the most abundant liquid in the human body, constitutes a very rich source of biomarkers. With a volume three times larger than blood, it shares with it a strong correlation in terms of composition. Microneedles (MNs), microstructures typically ranging from 400 to 1200 µm in height for humans, possess the ability to minimally invasively penetrate the skin and reach dermal ISF for its collection and/or in situ analysis. This workshop will discuss the development and applications of microneedle-based wearable devices for biosensing, giving full visibility to speakers from academia and industrial R&D teams, highlighting new ideas, research results, and development experiences. At the end of the workshop, a panel discussion for all the attendees will be organized, providing networking opportunities.
