Symposium on Biosensors for Agriculture: The National Roadmap Atlanta, GA

由于食品供应链的复杂性和全球性，食源性疾病、化学掺假和食品欺诈正在成为新出现的公共卫生威胁。公众对掺假和受污染食品的意识日益增强，这给世界各地的政府、卫生组织、工业和农业带来了越来越大的压力，要求他们与这些问题作斗争，确保我们的食品供应的安全性和真实性。我们建议召开一次农业生物传感器专题讨论会，讨论传感器技术以应对这些问题。研讨会将与电化学学会联合举行。在旧金山举行的年度秋季会议。这个为期一天的研讨会将包括：1)邀请演讲，描述最近的传感器研究和组织路线图；2)小组讨论会议，以确定当前努力未解决的技术差距；2)公开论坛研究海报会议；4)举办海报比赛，鼓励学生研究生物传感器。本次研讨会将引导创新和跨学科的方法，以确保消费者的食品安全。

1340464 - SimonianFoodborne disease, chemical adulteration, and food fraud are emerging public health threatsdue to the complex and global nature of our food supply chain. The heightened public awarenessof adulterated and contaminated food products has brought increased pressure on governments,health organizations, industry and agriculture from around the world to combat these problemsand ensure the safety and authenticity of our food supply. We propose to convene a symposiumon Biosensors for Agriculture to address sensor technologies to confront these issues. Thesymposium will be held in conjunction with the Electrochemical Society?s annual fall meetingin San Francisco. This one day symposium will consist of 1) Invited Presentations describingrecent sensor research and organizational roadmaps; 2) a Panel Discussion session to identifytechnology gaps not being addressed by current efforts; 2) an open forum Research Poster Session;and 4) a Poster Contest to encourage student research on biosensors. This symposium will leadto innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to ensure food safety for consumers.
