Conference: 2022 BMES Annual Meeting
Date: 12–15 October 2022
Place: San Antonio, Texas, USA
Booth: #346

MDPI will be attending the 2022 BMES Annual Meeting as an exhibitor from 12 to 15 October 2022 in San Antonio, Texas, USA.

BMES holds an annual meeting where they have hosted up to 5,500 biomedical engineers who attend more than 2,500 scientific presentations on cancer treatment, heart disease, women’s health, global health disparities, and more. The meeting allows members to advocate for their innovative solutions, demonstrating their commitment to the society’s core value of health equity for all individuals. In addition, BMES shares scientific information to inspire the up-and-coming generation through four scientific journals, three special interest groups, and collaborations with other scientific societies to elevate the visibility and significant impact that the biomedical engineering community has worldwide as the thought leaders behind the future of human health.

From 12 to 15 October 2022, in the vibrant multicultural city of San Antonio, we will celebrate the tremendous contributions made by BMES members in research, teaching, education, and the workforce that directly impact many sectors of our society. We also aim to highlight equity issues in healthcare and education, stemming from racial and socioeconomic diversity, gender and sexual orientation, and disabilities.

The following MDPI journals will be represented:

• Applied Sciences;
• Bioengineering;
• Biomedicines;
• Biomimetics;
• Biomolecules;
• Biosensors;
• Cancers;
• CIMB;
• Diseases.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you plan on attending this conference. Our delegates look forward to meeting you in person and answering any questions that you might have.

Peer Review Week began 19 September 2022 under the theme of “Research Integrity: Creating and Supporting Trust in Research”. Through various blog articles, podcast, and webinar, we discussed this crucial subject throughout the week, celebrating the essential role peer review plays in maintaining research quality.

To begin, we held a Webinar on the topic. Professor Peter W. Choate and Dr. Emmanuel Obeng-Gyasi joined Dr. Ioana Craciun, one of MDPI’s scientific officers, for an in-depth discussion.

We invite you to view the event recording:

During the week, the MDPI Blog in a series articles highlighted how good Peer Review safeguards research integrity. The following topics were covered:

• Peer Review Week 2022
• Research Integrity
• What We’ve Learned About Peer Review Reports
• 4 Steps to the Perfect Peer Review Report
• How to Write the Perfect Peer Review Report: An Interview
• Inviting Great Peer Reviewers

In a new edition of Insight Faster, an MDPI podcast, we were delighted to talk to the co-chairs of the Peer Review Week committee, Jayashree Rajagopalan (Senior Manager of Global Community Engagement for CACTUS) and Danielle Padula (Head of Marketing and Community Development at Scholastica) to get their take on this year’s event and its related topics.

You can find the Podcast here.

We hope you enjoy the contents!

Effective and rapid point-of-care (POC) diagnostics have the capability to revolutionize public healthcare in both developed and developing countries. POC testing can provide in vitro diagnostics and immediately actionable healthcare information at accident sites, in doctors’ offices, and in ambulances. Biosensing for point-of-care diagnostics is a research field that has seen growing interest since the first device for detecting glucose was developed.

We would like to take this opportunity to extend our appreciation to all of the researchers who have contributed to point-of-care diagnostics. We would like to highlight multiple research projects in this field that are not just limited to the topics below.
