Throughout the event we aim to cover—among others—the following topics:

1. Artificial intelligence in biosensors;
2. Ingestible, implantable and wearable biosensors;
3. Smartphone-based biosensors;
4. The evolution of biological recognition elements in biosensors;
5. Microfabrication and printing techniques in biosensors;
6. Nanomaterials and smart surfaces in biosensors;

Professor Patrick Wagner

Introduction
Talk
Spontaneous Detachment Behavior of Eukaryotic Cells in Presence of Temperature Gradients
Bio
Patrick Wagner obtained a Ph.D. in Physics in 1994 at TU Darmstadt, Germany. Thereafter, he was a postdoctoral fellow at KU Leuven (Belgium), working on the electrical properties of oxide thin films. In 2001, he became a professor at Hasselt University (Belgium), and switched to the field of biosensors for medical diagnostics. In 2014, he moved back to KU Leuven as a full professor of biophysics and became head of the Laboratory for Soft Matter and Biophysics in 2022. Regarding transducers, his team utilizes impedance analysis, quartz-crystal microbalances, and the heat-transfer method HTM: The latter sensing mechanism relies on the unexpected observation that on-chip denaturation of DNA causes a substantial change of the thermal interface resistance between the chip and the liquid. HTM can be applied to various bioanalytical applications, including the detection of proteins, inflammation markers, bacteria, and cancer cells. At the side of the receptors, the team develops molecularly-imprinted polymers for small-molecule recognition and surface-imprinted polymers for larger targets such as bacteria. Recently, we developed a receptor-free, thermal technique to identify eukaryotic cells and characterize their response to nutrients and toxins. P. Wagner has served as president of the Belgian Physical Society (2006, 2007), as chair of the scientific advisory board of the Kurt-Schwabe-Institute (2016 – 2019), and as a member of the expert panel for interdisciplinary research of the Research Foundation Flanders FWO (ongoing). He was editor-in-chief of the journal Physics-in-Medicine (2016 – 2022), member of the editorial board of SENSORS (since 2018), and serves as guest editor of the annual section “Engineering of Functional Interfaces” in Physica Status Solidi A.
