SERDANG, June 16 — The Functional Nanotechnology Device Laboratory (FNDL) at ION2 recently organized a hybrid seminar titled 'Biosensor: Introduction and Applications'. This program aimed to offer fundamental insights into biosensor technology and its applications in daily life. Additionally, the seminar served as a preliminary session, or a sneak preview, for the upcoming series of biosensor workshops scheduled for August 13th and 14th.

The seminar was presented by Prof. Dr. Lee Yoo Heng, an adjunct professor at ION2 and a distinguished bioanalytical chemist from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). Prof. Dr. Lee earned his MSc and PhD degrees from the University of Cambridge, England, under the mentorship of Prof. E.A.H. Hall. His research expertise primarily focuses on chemical sensors and biosensors, with particular emphasis on the integration of nanomaterials in sensing devices. His research work covers a range of applications, including food and agriculture, environmental pollution monitoring, toxicity studies, and the detection of chemical and biological hazards.

The seminar attracted a diverse audience, with 30 participants attending in person at the ION2 Seminar Hall and 104 participants joining online from both within Malaysia and internationally. The hybrid format of the seminar allowed for a broad reach and facilitated engaging discussions among attendees from various regions.

This successful program highlights ION2’s commitment to advancing knowledge in nanotechnology and biosensor applications, setting the stage for further exploration and development in these cutting-edge fields.
