TITLE: BIOMEDTECH 2025 – INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY IN MEDICAL BIOCHEMISTRY

🔬 The Summer Academy “BioMedTech 2025” is a unique event that merges innovation, technology, and science within the field of Medical Biochemistry. Organized by the Faculty of Medical Biochemistry at UBT, the academy serves as a platform for students, researchers, and professionals to explore cutting-edge trends revolutionizing modern laboratories and diagnostic systems.

Activity Overview:

Over the course of three intensive days, participants will engage in advanced lectures, hands-on laboratory sessions, biotech industry presentations, and interactive discussions addressing the challenges and future directions of medical biochemistry in the high-tech era. The academy emphasizes the integration of emerging technologies—including biosensors, digital diagnostics, AI in laboratory analysis, and automation—into classical laboratory practices.

Forums and Presentations:

The BioMedTech 2025 forums will bring together distinguished figures from biotechnology, laboratory medicine, and technological innovation. Success stories, novel diagnostic tools, advancements in automated analysis systems, and AI applications in biochemistry will be showcased. Discussions will also focus on the transformative potential of technology in enhancing public health and laboratory efficiency.

Hackathon and Innovation Challenge:

A central highlight of the academy will be the “BioLab Hackathon,” where participants will be challenged to develop innovative solutions to real-world problems in medical laboratories. Through teamwork, they will design prototypes, propose novel diagnostic ideas, or develop algorithms to support laboratory analyses. Top-performing teams will receive awards and the opportunity to further develop their concepts.

Hands-on Workshops:

Participants will take part in interactive workshops featuring cutting-edge laboratory technologies such as:

• Digital spectrophotometry
• Automated ELISA
• Biomarker analysis
• Software tools for laboratory data interpretation
• Training on smart devices for clinical biochemistry

The workshops will be led by both local and international experts with practical experience.

Exhibition and Start-Up Pavilion:

An innovation exhibition will be held as part of the academy, showcasing the latest products and services from companies, private laboratories, and start-ups in the BioMedTech sector. This will allow participants to network with industry representatives, explore emerging trends, and get hands-on exposure to modern lab equipment.
