Electrochemical Strategies in Detection Science

Dr. Sub Reddy (C.Chem. MRSC) obtained his first class degree in Chemistry from the University of Manchester. He received his Ph.D. in Membrane-based Electrochemical Biosensing from the same University (1996). His post-doctoral research interests have included the development of quartz crystal-based biosensors, operating in the liquid phase (University of Wales, Bangor; 1994-1997) and the development of application-specific odour sensors (UMIST, Manchester; 1997-1998).Dr. Reddy was Senior Lecturer in Applied Analytical Chemistry at the University of Surrey and recently moved to the University of Central Lancashire as Senior Lecturer in Analytical Chemistry. Current research interests include the development of smart, permselective and biocompatible molecular imprinted polymers and membrane materials for the sensor/sample interface and the advancement of smart materials-based electrochemical, quartz crystal and optical sensors for medical, food and environmental applications. He is particularly interested in developing hydrogel-based molecularly imprinted polymers (HydroMIPs) for the determination of protein markers and other biomarkers and construction of biosensors. Professor Compton is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and Professor of Chemistry at Oxford University. He is also Editor-in-Chief of Electrochemistry Communications, Fellow of the International Society of Electrochemistry. In 2011 Professor Compton was awarded the RSC Sir George Stokes Award. Craig Banks is Professor of Nano and Electrochemical Technology at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.
