Nanofluidics and biosensing are driving new discoveries in biology, enabling precise control and real-time monitoring of complex biological systems. This symposium will highlight recent advances in microfluidic and nanofluidic technologies for applications such as organ-on-chip systems, high-sensitivity biosensing, and synthetic biology. Discussions will cover novel approaches to engineering microenvironments for studying cell-cell interactions, protein structures, and biomolecular dynamics. The session will also explore emerging intersections between nanofluidics and quantum biology, including quantum effects in enzyme function and biomolecular sensing. Additionally, advances in bioelectronic interfaces and nanoscale tools for environmental monitoring will also be featured. This symposium aims to foster new collaborations and insights at the interface of nanotechnology, fluidics, and biological sciences
