ECLectic Doctoral Network Workshop at BCMaterials (3-4 April)

On April 3 and 4, BCMaterials will host a workshop organized by the MSCA international doctoral network ECLectic, aimed at training young researchers in the field of electrochemiluminescence (ECL). This event is also open to scientists who are not part of the doctoral network and will serve as the culmination of a week that includes specific training sessions for predoctoral students in the ECLectic network, as well as a follow-up meeting among project partners.
Participants in the workshop will gain a comprehensive introduction to electrochemiluminescence. The program will feature sessions on electrochemistry, ECL fundamentals, the use of Python for data analysis, microscopy, applications, and case studies.
Program and Registration for the Workshop
The complete program and registration form can be found at the following web address: https://eclectic-dn.eu/workshop.
Registration is free for researchers participating in the network. For researchers from groups involved in ECLectic but not directly participating in the network, the registration fee is 100 euros, while the fee for all other researchers is 250 euros.
Early Diagnosis of Sepsis
The primary objectives of ECLectic include training 10 doctoral candidates in detection, diagnosis, and spectroscopy, with a particular focus on developing high-performance biosensors for early detection systems for sepsis. Sepsis is a serious and potentially fatal response to bacterial infection that can deteriorate rapidly in affected individuals. A 2020 WHO report estimates that sepsis causes 30 million deaths annually worldwide. The risk of dying from infection-related complications increases by 7.6% for every hour of treatment delay. Early diagnosis of sepsis could save approximately 200,000 lives each year.
BCMaterials is collaborating on this project by developing new electrode materials, detectors, and measurement systems integrated into microfluidic devices. In coordination with CICBiomaGUNE, we are also working on new bioinks and nanomaterials.
