The US-Brazil workshop on biosensors will bring together leading US and Brazilian scientists and researchers from multidisciplinary areas of engineering, physics, chemistry, and biology. The workshop, co-funded by the Office of International Science and Engineering, will take place November 8-10, 2017, at the Federal University of ABC, Santo Andre, which is located in the outskirts of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The workshop will bring together roughly 100 participants including 25 speakers (from US and Brazil) and approximately 70 graduate students and scientists from Brazil. Infectious diseases such as visceral Leishmaniasis, malaria, and tuberculosis are endemic to several parts of South America, Africa, and Asia. Although there have been major breakthroughs in micro/nanotechnology based diagnosis for several infectious diseases, many pathogens lack vaccines or drugs. In such cases, early detection is imperative to prevent patient mortality. The goal of the workshop is to provide a roadmap for the development of low-cost sensitive detectors for vector-borne diseases by integrating biomaterials research and semiconductor technology. The proposed workshop enables a holistic approach towards the development and integration of low-cost diagnostic tools that will have a great impact on global health by involving researchers with complementary skill sets with Brazilian scientists working in areas of bioanalytics, biocompatible protein-based and other nano-materials, and US scientists specializing in semiconductor technology, optical, magnetic and electrical detection, and processes involving scalable integration of circuits. New collaborative efforts between scientists from the US and Brazil are envisaged, paving the way for training students in bioelectronics, sensing, and diagnostics. Such collaborative efforts will open up opportunities for student exchange programs between the two countries, and the development of new curricula for graduate and undergraduate education both in the US and Brazil targeting low-cost biosensors in a cross-disciplinary fashion.The proposed workshop will provide a unique platform for researchers to discuss the recent innovations, trends, and multitude of challenges encountered in the areas of new materials for biosensors, analytical tools, and integration of biosensing circuits using complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor and other scalable technology. Although polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay have become common tools for clinical diagnosis, they are not ideal for mass screening in endemic areas of a particular disease. The integration of semiconductor technology with biology is essential for the development of fast low-cost sensors. There are several challenges in integrating semiconductor technology with bio-interfaces. The workshop will address these challenges by focusing on new materials development, integrating electrolytic gated transistors, and seamless integration of microfluidic arrays incorporating different transducing mechanisms including electrical, magnetic and optical integrability. The multidisciplinary approach of the workshop not only advances basic science and technology in terms of materials development and providing new insights into physical phenomena; it promises to have a huge impact in the development of low-cost portable sensors which will be a game-changer for fast detection, and could revolutionize the mechanism of detection, clinical diagnosis, and improvement of therapeutic handling of several vector-borne diseases.

美国巴西关于生物传感器的研讨会将汇集到工程，物理，化学和生物学多学科领域的美国和巴西科学家以及研究人员。该研讨会由国际科学与工程办公室共同资助，将于2017年11月8日至10日在巴西圣保罗郊区的Santo Andre联邦大学圣安德烈（Santo Andre）举行。该研讨会将召集大约100名参与者，包括25位演讲者（来自我们和巴西），以及大约70名来自巴西的研究生和科学家。诸如内脏利什曼病，疟疾和结核病等传染病是南美，非洲和亚洲的几个地区特有的。尽管基于微/纳米技术的几种传染病的诊断已经取得了重大突破，但许多病原体缺乏疫苗或药物。在这种情况下，必须早期检测以防止患者死亡。研讨会的目的是通过整合生物材料研究和半导体技术来为媒介传播疾病的低成本敏感探测器的开发提供路线图。拟议的研讨会可以通过与研究人员参与研究人员的互补技能，从而对全球健康产生重大影响，从而为巴西科学家与生物纳分析，生物相容性蛋白质基于蛋白质和其他纳米材料的延伸技术，及时的延伸技术，竞争，及时，依赖于半偏的科学家，对全球健康产生重大影响，并具有互补的技能。电路。 设想了来自美国和巴西科学家之间的新合作努力，为培训学生进行生物电子，感应和诊断的方式铺平了道路。 Such collaborative efforts will open up opportunities for student exchange programs between the two countries, and the development of new curricula for graduate and undergraduate education both in the US and Brazil targeting low-cost biosensors in a cross-disciplinary fashion.The proposed workshop will provide a unique platform for researchers to discuss the recent innovations, trends, and multitude of challenges encountered in the areas of new materials for biosensors, analytical tools, and integration of使用互补的金属氧化物 - 氧化流极导器和其他可伸缩技术的生物传感电路。尽管聚合酶链反应和酶连接的免疫吸附测定已成为临床诊断的常见工具，但它们并不是特定疾病流行地区大规模筛查的理想选择。半导体技术与生物学的整合对于快速低成本传感器的发展至关重要。将半导体技术与生物互化相结合时面临一些挑战。该研讨会将通过关注新材料开发，整合电解门的晶体管以及微流体阵列的无缝整合来解决这些挑战。研讨会的多学科方法不仅在材料开发方面推进了基础科学和技术，并为物理现象提供了新的见解。它有望对低成本便携式传感器的开发产生巨大影响，这将是改变游戏的快速检测器，并可能彻底改变检测，临床诊断的机制，并改善了几种媒介疾病的治疗处理方法。
