This symposium will feature innovative applications-focused research and development in the following focus areas:

Biomedical Sensors and Devices
Submissions are invited on the development of biosensors and assays for clinical and health applications. These may include point of care diagnostics, lab-on-a-chip integration, and miniaturized devices for clinical/health applications.

Chemical and Physical Sensors
This section of the symposium will focus on sensors monitoring chemical functionality and physical properties such as temperature, strain, pressure, etc. These sensors have a wide variety of applications including in the oil and gas industry for detection of low concentrations of chemical species and the defense industry for detection of threat agents. Submissions are welcome on novel sensing devices, miniaturization/lab on a chip, harsh environment applications, and novel analytical schemes

Environmental Applications
There is an increasing demand for sensors to assess and monitor environmental parameters that affect human health including pollutants and pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Developments in sensor technology are critical for measuring air and water quality and for assessment during remediation efforts. Papers describing novel approaches for sensing in a variety of environmental formats are invited.

Biomedical Applications of Nanoparticles
With significant research on the synthesis, functionalization, and characterization of nanoparticles over the past decade, there is now increased focus on the application of nanoparticles. On the biomedical side, a wide variety of nanoparticles including magnetic and metal nanoparticles are increasingly used for medical diagnostics, targeted drug-delivery, therapeutics, and imaging. Submissions are invited in this comprehensive topic and may also address novel diagnostic tools, cancer therapy, and design.

There will be a dedicated session on nanoparticle-based imaging methods for diagnosis of disease. Non-invasive imaging technologies typically involve the administration of contrast or signal enhancement agents that facilitate the visualization of organs, cells, tissues or the state of a particular disease. Nanotechnology, particularly the development of nanoparticle-based agents, has had a tremendous impact in the design of targeted and specific nanoagents with the potential of homing on a particular area and interrogating for normal or disease processes. Submissions are invited on technologies for the visualization at the molecular or cellular level using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), optical/fluorescent imaging, X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT), ultrasound and positron emission tomography (PET), among others.
