The organisers of the 3rd International Symposium on Microfluidics for Sensing and Sequencing (ISM2S) have reluctantly decided to postpone this year’s conference.
Prof Zhugen Yang, who leads EBNet’s ESWS WG and is on the Conference organising committee, said: “Due to the merger between Cranfield and King’s College London and the capacity of our event team, we decided to move ISM2S to Cambridge in 2027 – it’s a hard decision, but the conference will probably be even better as a result”. EBNet was also planning to sponsor a prize at the conference, which will now be carried over to next year.
Meanwhile to compensate for this disappointment, don’t miss the new journal article by Prof Yang and colleagues in this topic area, which focuses on paper microfluidics devices as a low-cost rapid diagnostics tool. Prof Yang said “This is a continuation of our ongoing work on the role of paper sensors, and builds on our early EBNet Proof-of-Concept funding”.
