New Developments for Nanosensors in Pharmaceutical Analysis presents an overview of developments in nanosensor usage in pharmaceutical analysis, thereby helping pharmaceutical companies attain reliable, precise, and accurate analysis of pharmaceuticals.
This book presents very simple, precise, sensitive, selective, fast, and relatively inexpensive methods for pre-treatment, prior to analysis. These methods may be considered for further application in clinical studies and assays. The book includes the manufacturing of sensors for pharmaceutical analysis at nano- or smaller scales, and gives simple and relatable designs for the fabrication of sensors. Twelve chapters cover an introduction to the topic, immobilization techniques, mechanism effect of nanomaterials on structure, optical nanosensors for pharmaceutical detection, chemical nanosensors in pharmaceutical analysis, noble metal nanoparticles in electrochemical analysis of drugs, photo-electrochemical nanosensors for drug analysis, molecularly imprinted polymer based nanosensors for pharmaceutical analysis, nanomaterials for drug delivery systems, nanomaterials enriched nucleic acid-based biosensors, nanosensors in biomarker detection, and nanomaterials-based enzyme biosensors for electrochemical applications.
Sibel A. Ozkan is presently working as a Full Professor of Analytical Chemistry at Ankara University, Faculty of Pharmacy. She has become full professor in 2003. She has been involved in several analytical chemistry projects related to electroanalytical chemistry and separation techniques on drug active compounds, nanosensor development and DNA-Drug interactions.
Her research interests included analysis of pharmaceuticals with using separation techniques especially on liquid chromatography, method development and their validation, electroanalytical techniques, novel electrode materials, nano-structured materials, surface-modified electrodes, fabrication of biosensors and nano-sensors, analysis of pharmaceuticals from their dosage forms and biological samples.
She has published more than 250 (SSCI) original and review papers, more than 20 chapters in varied books and 4 scientific books namely 'Electroanalytical methods in pharmaceutical analysis and their validation', HNB Publishing, in 2012 and 'Electroanalysis in biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences', Springer, in 2015, Recent Advances in Analytical Techniques, Book Series Volume 1, 2017 and Volume 2, 2018, Bentham Science Publishers.
She received Ankara University Scientific Support Award in 2003; Academy of Pharmacy Science Award of Turkish Pharmaceutical Association in 2008 and The Best PhD Thesis in Turkey Award 2017 (Health Sciences), High Council of Education of Turkey.
She is Regional Editor of Current Pharmaceutical Analysis (2015) and Section Editor of Turkish Journal of Chemistry (2018). She is the Editorial Board Member of the many journals such as Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, Talanta, Chromatographia, Current Drug Therapy, Journal of Turkish Pharmaceutical Sciences, etc.
