Microfluidics has emerged as a transformative technology that bridges the gap between traditional laboratory techniques and involves multidisciplinary and cutting-edge topics, including chemical, biological, medical and environmental science.

Following previous ISM2S in Cranfield (2024) and Oxford (2025), this two-day event in 2026 covers the topic of biosensing and microfluidics for high-throughput, single-microbe sensing and sequencing to address the global challenges on environment and health, including but not limited to biosensing, microfluidics, engineering biology, single-cell analysis and sequencing, point-of-care diagnostics, antimicrobial resistance, and environmental sustainability and planetary health. That frontier technology will tackle the main challenges to planetary health and sustainability.

The event will gather world-leading experts to present and discuss recent research progress on frontier technologies, including microfluidics for sensing and sequencing, in particular on single-cell analysis for real-world impact to contribute to the challenges of sustainability and planetary health. We highly encourage early-career researchers and research students to engage with world-leading scientists.
