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.
Serban Peteu is serving since 2011 as a Professor, adjunct in Chemical Engineering & Materials Science at Michigan State University, Michigan, United States and is also a Project manager and Principal investigator at the National Institute for Chemistry (ICECHIM) Bucharest Romania. He earned a PhD in Biotechnology and Bioengineering, with MS in Chemical Engineering, both from the “Politehnica” University Bucharest. His main research interests are in chemical sensors where he has advanced detection methods including for biological fluids. Both electrochemical and optochemical sensing have been investigated, with emphasis to response amplification via hybrid nano-architectures. Present works include catalytic interfaces for peroxynitrite quantification. He co-authored over 50 research publications: articles, book chapters, international patents and an RSC book co-edited in 2013.
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.
