Invited lecturers
MSB 2022 brought together invited speakers covering microscale engineering through separation sciences and their applications. The list of confirmed speakers below was published as part of the symposium programme.
Individual speaker names, affiliations and lecture titles are listed in the symposium programme and in the Book of Abstracts.
Invited lecturers form the scientific backbone of MSB 2022, the 38th International Symposium on Microscale Separations and Bioanalysis held at the University of Liège in Belgium. These contributions trace a line from the fundamentals of microscale engineering through separation sciences and into practical bioanalytical applications, reflecting the overall concept of the meeting. The programme pages point readers to the full Book of Abstracts and the symposium programme for individual lecture titles, affiliations and scheduling details, keeping the overview on this page focused on scope rather than personal specifics.
The topics addressed by the invited speakers mirror the main themes of the symposium: microfluidic and chip-based systems, engineering of miniaturised separation platforms, and the analytical chemistry of biomarkers and medicines. By placing hardware design, method development and biomedical detection side by side, the invited programme illustrates how nanoscale and microscale interactions translate into measurable scientific outcomes, and how advances in photonics and instrumentation support detection at ever smaller dimensions.
Beyond the lecture hall, the symposium offered short courses, poster flash presentations and social events that brought together scientists, organisers, sponsors and exhibitors from across the international community. A dedicated programme structure, clear submission guidelines for abstracts and authors, and a preliminary schedule helped participants navigate the days in Liège, while the surrounding region offered opportunities to extend a stay and enjoy local sights. The confirmed speaker list therefore sits within a broader framework of knowledge exchange, exhibition and collaboration.
Scientific scope
The confirmed contributions of the invited speakers spanned the main topics of the symposium: microscale engineering, and separation sciences together with their applications in bioanalysis.
- Microscale engineering.
- Separation sciences and their applications.
- Bioanalysis of microscale systems.
Programmes and abstracts
The preliminary schedule, including the Sunday Short Courses held before the main symposium, and the Book of Abstracts give the detailed view of the confirmed contributions. The Young Scientist Award formed part of the MSB 2022 programme for researchers at the start of their careers.
