Lateral Flow Assays

Prof. Dr. Sibel A. Ozkan is a Full Professor in the Faculty of Pharmacy at Ankara University. She has over 30 years of experience in analytical chemistry. She has been involved in several analytical chemistry projects related to LC methods, separation techniques, chiral separation, drug analysis, electrochemical biosensors, nanosensors, nanobiosensors, MIP sensors, DNA biosensors, enzyme biosensors, biomarkers, environmental sensors, method development, and validation of drug assay. She has published more than 450 original and review papers, and she is the Editor of 12 scientific books and about 55 book chapters. She has several international and national awards. She is the Editor of the Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis (SCI-Elsevier) and Section Editor (Analytical & Environmental) of Essential Chem (Taylor & Francis) and Regional Editor (Europe part) of Current Pharmaceutical Analysis (SCI-Bentham). Besides, she is the Editorial Board member of Talanta (SCI), Chromatographia (SCI), Biosensors & Bioelectronics X, Critical Reviews in Analytical Chemistry, Electrochimica Acta, Analytical & Bioanalytical Chemistry, Advanced Sample Prep., Green Analytical Chemistry, and so on. Prof. Mustafa Kemal Sezgintürk is a Professor in the Bioengineering Department at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University. His research interests lie in the area of biochemistry, biosensors, lateral flow assays, cancer biomarkers, electrochemistry, and enzymology. Professor Sezgintürk has more than 180 publications. Four different Lateral Flow Assay systems developed by his team, focused on both novel control line strategies and diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 antigens, have also been patented. Another important achievement is the publication of the first extended and updated book on the field of commercial biosensors, edited by Sezgintürk (Commercial Biosensors and Their Applications: Clinical, Food, and Beyond, Elsevier, 2020). Dr. Sezgintürk has been associate editor-in-chief of the Turkish Journal of Chemistry (SCI-Expanded) for four years. Besides, he is also on the editorial board of these prestigious journals: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis Open (Elsevier), Biosensors and Bioelectronics:X (Elsevier), International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry (Taylor & Francis), Essential Chem (Taylor & Francis). Professor Sezgintürk also successfully coordinated several scientific projects. In 2016, he won the Award for Outstanding Young Scientist (Turkish Academy of Sciences-GEBİP), a prestigious scientific award.
