Welcome to the Institute of Bio-Sensing Technology
Bio-sensing technologies are of increasing importance in healthcare, agri-food, environmental and security sectors, and this is reflected in the continued growth of global markets for such technologies.
The Institute of Bio-Sensing Technology (IBST), the first of its type in the UK, aims to develop academic/industrial partnerships to address the technological challenges posed by each of these sectors - from the development of novel technology for detection and measurement of biological systems to the integration of biological systems into novel sensing technology.

Pat Turton, a lecturer in Adult Nursing at UWE, Bristol, commented on the event stating that "It is rare that healthcare professionals, scientists and people affected by cancer come together to discuss and reflect on new advances in treatment and in clinical care. Over 100 people attended the event, and the audience was a clear mix of patients, supporters, people involved on the science side, and healthcare professionals... Of particular note was the interest in the presentation by Professor Chang Har Yip which gave a global perspective, as well as the contribution of Professor Jeff Holly to the debate about nutrition and breast cancer".
