Abstract

Hong Kong has all features of a living cell: High speed, interaction, flexibility, reliability, cooperation, competition, and beauty! All these principles will be demonstrated using research results of 22 years at HKUST: Biosensors for acute heart attack, diabetes, horse fitness, Biochemical Oxygen Demand. Tissue-Bioreactors are used for production of Agarwood Oil. Everything is speeding up from years to days, from days to hours, from hours to minutes. New ideas are invited to be discussed.

About the Speaker

Prof. Reinhard Renneberg is a retired Professor of Chemistry in HKUST. His research interests is in the subject area of Bioanalytical chemistry: basics and applications; nano-biotechnology; biosensorics and bioelectronics; microsystems and microsensors; novel signal-amplifying systems using LBL-encapsulated mediators; enzymes and dyes for amperometric sensors; ELISAs and other biotests; environmental chemistry; commercialization of biosensors and biotests (heart attack, stroke, viral and bacterial infections). The Biosensor & Bioelectronics Lab is developing novel rapid tests for biomedical and environmental applications. It has formed the SiGNAL network (Sino-German Nano-Analytical Lab) for collaboration within the frame of the German Center, HKUST Europe Institute.
