This handbook is an interdisciplinary and comprehensive reference covering all aspects of cell biosensors. It is divided into four main sections which are led and organized by numerous international experts. The scope of coverage includes:
Fundamentals and genetics for biosensor applications
Transducers, Materials and Systems
Markets, innovation and education
Application of biosensors in business

Biosensor research is an exciting hybrid world where biologists, chemists, physicists, engineers and computer engineers come together. This handbook will serve as an invaluable living resource for all researchers in academia and industry working with cell biosensors.

Gérald Thouand received his PhD in Microbiology from the University of Nancy, France, in 1993. He is tenured Professor in microbiology at the University of Nantes and Deputy for research innovation at the French Ministry of Research (DRRT Pays de La Loire) from 2008 to 2018 and now Expert for the County Pays de la Loire for innovation. In 2008 he was Auditor at the Institute of Higher Studies for Science and Technology (IHEST, Paris). His research interest includes environmental monitoring of biodegradation and biotechnology using microbial biosensors. He is mainly involved in the development of biosensors for chemical pollutants detection and pathogenic bacteria. He is President of the International Society for Bioluminescence and Chemiluminescence, editor for Environmental Science and Pollution Research (ESPR, Springer), and editor for Sensors and was associate editor for Frontiers in Microbiology
