| Publisher Description: Peroxynitrite is a powerful oxidiser which can damage a wide array of molecules within cells, including DNA and proteins, leading to apoptosis, inflammation or cancer. Peroxynitrite detection and quantification provides critical information in understanding its biological implications. This book is a timely addition to the literature, as the first in the field, dedicated to detecting this molecule in vivo. It will be welcomed by the community particularly medicinal and analytical chemists, developers of sensors and probes and analytical equipment manufacturers. |
Contributor Bio(s): Peteu, Serban: - Dr. Serban Peteu's research interest is in biosensors, where he has advanced methods to detect metal ions or monitor nitro-oxidative stress in biological fluids. Both electrochemical and optochemical sensing have been investigated, furthermore the response being enhanced via hybrid organic-inorganic nano-architectures. Present work involves nanowire based bio-catalytic interfaces for electrochemical and field-effect sensors. Projects include: semiconductor based lancet type biosensors, electroactive polymers soft actuators, bioreactors designed and fabricated for vaccine research and for water remediation, other equipment and devices to improve the quality of life.Szunerits, Sabine: - Sabine Szunerits is since 2009 Professor in Chemistry at the University Lille 1 and attached to the Interdisciplinary Research Institute (IRI). She holds a PhD in organic electrochemistry from the Queen Mary and Westfield College, London UK and a MA in Social Science from the Open University of London. She has become a member of the "Institut Universitaire de France" (IUF) in 2010. Her current research interests are in the area of material science with emphasis on the development of novel analytical platforms for the study of affinity binding events and in the modification of nanostructures for biomedical applications. She is co-author of more than 160 research publications, wrote several book chapters and has 6 patents. |
