The 2nd Annual Conference of the Israeli Society for Chemical and Biological Sensing (ISBCS) was held on July 7 at the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History, Tel Aviv University. The conference brought together leading researchers, students, clinicians, and industry representatives to discuss recent advances in chemical and biological sensing.
The conference scientific committee included Prof. Amos Danielli (Bar-Ilan University), Prof. Hadar Ben-Yoav (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev), Prof. Gili Bisker (Tel Aviv University), and Dr. Zvi Yaari (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem). The scientific program featured invited lectures by distinguished researchers from leading academic institutions across Israel, highlighting the breadth and impact of sensing technologies in biomedical and life science applications.
The conference also hosted a student poster competition, in which 46 graduate students presented their latest research.
Our laboratory was well represented at the meeting. Prof. Amos Danielli delivered an invited lecture entitled "Concentration-Enhanced PCR: Ultrasensitive, Background-Suppressed Molecular Assays" and chaired the third scientific session. In addition, Ph.D. student Shmuel Burg and M.Sc. student Tom Rotman presented posters showcasing their ongoing research.
We are delighted to congratulate Tom Rotman, who was selected as one of six recipients of the Best Poster Award in recognition of his outstanding research presentation. This achievement reflects both the high quality of his work and the excellence of our laboratory's research. Congratulations, Tom! — We are proud of you!
Congratulations to our former lab members, Ms. Reut Ashkenazy and Ms. Adi Efrati, on earning their M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering. As part of their master's research, both made valuable contributions to the innovative research conducted in our laboratory. We thank them for their dedication and wish them every success in their future endeavors.

Prof. Danielli specializes in Electro-optics and Bio-photonics. After completing his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in the field of optical communication at Tel Aviv University, he worked in industry for eight years and then return to the Academy. During his studies for P.hD, he developed a new technology to rapidly detect fluorescent-labeled probes at very low concentrations in homogenous solutions and continued developing it during his post-doctoral studies in Washington University, St. Louis.
In 2014, he has returned to Israel and joined the faculty of Engineering at Bar Ilan University.
During his stay in the US, he founded a company that commercializes this technology, and established connections with key figures in the fields of medical laboratory and diagnostics, and especially among troponin and heart attack specialists.
We are always happy to hear from postdocs and students at all levels (BSc., MSc. and PhD.) with various backgrounds (mathematics, engineering, physics, biology) who are interested by the kind of research we are doing. send an email to Amos.danielli2@gmail.com
