BO LIEDBERG
Current Position. Professor, Department of Biomedical Devices and Instrumentation, Institute of Biomaterials and Bioengineering, Tokyo Medical and Dental University. Editorial Board member of Biosensors and Bioelectronics (Elsevier) and of Frontiers in Chemistry; Associate Editor of Sensors and Materials. Education. B.S. (1983) and M.S. (1985) degrees in fracture mechanics analysis, Toyohashi University of Technology, Toyohashi, Japan; and Ph.D. course work in advanced science and technology, and Ph.D. degree in “Noninvasive biosensing system”, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, in 1994. Nonscientific Interests. My favorite sports are baseball, football, tennis, swimming. My current research interests include cavitas bio/chemical sensors (soft contact lens, mouth guard, etc.) for human monitoring, a newly olfactometric system (biosniffer, sniff-cam) using biological materials and artificial medical devices (pancreas, hand) driven by biological energy.

Current Position. Professor of Materials Science, School of Materials Science; Director for the Center for Biomimetic Sensor Science; and Dean of the Interdisciplinary Graduate School, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. Education. M.Sc. in Engineering Physics, and Ph.D. in Applied Physics, Linköping University, Sweden. Nonscientific Interests. Traveling and golf. I am a surface physicist/chemist by training, and have expertise in the analysis of thin molecular films and self-assembled architectures on solid supports. This research is intimately connected to my bioand chemical sensing activities, where I have been developing novel sensing architectures, biochips, and micro/nanoarrays for a broad spectrum of applications. I am also well-known for early contributions in the field of surface plasmon resonance optics, which later became one of the cornerstones in the Biospecific Interaction Analysis (BIAcore) system advertised by GE Healthcare. Most of my current research activities are devoted to biomimetics and the development of robust sensor technology for rapid and low-cost field testing, e.g., of toxins and environmental targets, as well as biomarkers for infectious and chronic diseases.

Current Position. Ph.D. student, International Graduate School in Bionanotechnology, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Austrian Institute of Technology and Nanyang Technological University. Education. B.Sc. in Biotechnology (Genetics and Molecular Biology), National University of Mongolia, Mongolia (2007), M.Sc. in Molecular Biology (Molecular Medicine), University of Vienna, Austria (2012). Nonscientific Interests. Traveling, singing, and yoga. I enjoy spending time with my son, playing and doing the things that are his current interests. Part of a research group focused at materials research and advanced sensor concepts for sensitive and rapid detection of chemical and biological species, such as biomarkers, drugs and toxic compounds. My research concerns reversible and label-free
