Muzyka K.M., Zholudov Yu.T. and Snizhko D.V., employees of the Department of Biomedical Engineering of KNURE, took part in the 5th IEEE Middle East and Africa Conference on Biomedical Engineering (MECBME 2020). Due to the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel and meetings, the conference took place online on October 27-29, 2020. The conference was organized by Yarmouk University, IEEE Jordan Section, and IEEE EMBS Jordan Chapter. The MECBME Conference was in its fifth edition. It was previously held in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Lebanon, and the latest in Tunisia. It is an international conference that provides a unique forum for engineers, scientists, and researchers to present their state‐of‐the‐art findings in Biomedical Engineering. Muzyka K.M. presented a report on behalf of the research group of the Laboratory of Analytical Optochemotronics. Conference Section: «Bioinstrumentation, Nanomedicine, and Biosensors». Title of the report «Coreactant- change based Strategy towards Selective Electrochemiluminescent Detection of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Aqueous Media». In this work a new strategy for selective heterogeneous electrochemiluminescent detection of luminescent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is introduced. This strategy can be useful during distinguishing PAHs with different cancerogenicity. In his introductory speech Muzyka KM also introduced KNURE, noting its authority in the field of education and science and its 90th anniversary. MECBME 2020 is a peer-reviewed full-paper conference.

All presented papers will be submitted for publication to the IEEE Xplore® digital library and will be indexed in Scopus.
