Wednesday, 4 June, 2025 09.30 to 16.30
Nexus, University of Leeds, Discovery Way, LS2 3AA, Leeds
The meeting will focus on the rapidly evolving field of Point-of-Use (POU) sensors, particularly in medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and industrial applications. Photonics-based solutions and electrochemical sensors are leading the charge, yet several challenges remain in transitioning these technologies from lab to market.
Technologies which enable rapid, real-time analysis of biological, chemical, and physical parameters, have seen accelerated development due to innovations in materials, miniaturisation, and integration with digital platforms such as artificial intelligence (AI). Photonics-based solutions and electrochemical sensors are at the forefront of these advances, offering high sensitivity, non-invasive monitoring. Despite these advancements, several grand challenges remain. These include improving the sensitivity and specificity of sensors for complex, real-world environments, enhancing the stability and durability of these devices, and overcoming hurdles in scaling up from laboratory research to market-ready products. Furthermore, there is a need to strengthen collaborations between academia and industry to align research efforts and accelerate commercialization.
This meeting organised by CAMS will bring together key stakeholders in the UK and Ireland. We aim to foster knowledge exchange, and to identify emerging technologies and challenges that hinder widespread adoption. CAMS intends to use the outputs of the event to establish a roadmap for future innovations.
The morning session will consist of a series of presentations from invited speakers, from both industry and academia. These speakers will give us a flavour of the current state of the field, what is done well, challenges we face, and what we want in the future. Speakers include:
Prof. Pedro Estrela - University of Bath
Damion Corrigan - University of Strathclyde
In the afternoon, attendees will participate in workshops where they will brainstorm solutions to critical challenges in POU sensor development. The outcomes of these discussions will help shape a roadmap for the future of sensor technology, including strategies for commercialization and collaboration.
We look forward to welcoming you on the day,
CAMS Secretariat
