Key techniques. Interdisciplinary applications. Open access research

Development of new sensors helps to improve underlying techniques and tools. It can bring about more accurate diagnosis of health conditions, food and environmental monitoring, and interpretation of complex results in real-world conditions.

 

“I want the journal to educate, engage and encourage by publishing innovative research that will bridge the gap between sensing in the lab and field-based applications.”
Sabine Szunerits, Co-Editor-in-Chief, Sensors & Diagnostics

 

If your work contains crucial developments in the field of sensors and you want it to be available to all, we want to hear from you.

Best wishes

Royal Society of Chemistry

Welcome to Sensors & Diagnostics!

We are delighted to welcome Professor Xueji Zhang, Shenzhen University, China, as co-Editor-in-Chief of Sensors & Diagnostics.

Dr. Xueji Zhang is vice president of Shenzhen University and Professor at the School of Biomedical Engineering, China. He received his BSc and PhD from Wuhan University in 1989 and 1994 respectively. His postdoctoral work was completed at the National Institute of Chemistry, Slovenia, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich and New Mexico State University, Last Cruces, USA, from 1995-1999. He was a research scientist, a senior scientist, a chief scientist, Vice President and Senior Vice President at World Precision Instruments, Inc., USA, until 2010, when he joined the University of Science & Technology Beijing as National Chair Professor. His research interests span the disciplines of chemistry, biology, materials and medicine, with an emphasis on studies of biosensing, biomedicine and biomaterials. His lab focuses on the development of novel biosensors, artificial intelligence sensors, tools and devices to study free radicals, cancer biomarkers, profiling changes in animals or humans associated with diseases, and exploiting this information for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. In addition, his group investigates drug delivery, new energy and natural medicines. He serves as the co-Editor in Chief of Sensors & Diagnostics and has been an editorial member of 24 international journals. He has received numerous national and international awards and honors including: Member of the Russian Academy of Engineering; Fellow of the American Institute for Medical & Bioengineering; Fellow of the Royal Chemical Society; a National Innovation Award in China; Scientist of the Year in China, and Simon Fellow of ICSC-World Lab.

The impact of his work is documented in over 180 granted patents, about 500 peer-reviewed journal papers with >26,000 citations, 8 books, and over 150 keynote/invited lectures and seminars at national and international conferences and institutions. His work is also closely tied to industry and government, for which he has licensed a few biosensing technologies and affected some government regulations.

Welcome to Sensors & Diagnostics!

We are delighted to welcome Professor Sabine Szunerits, University of Lille, France, as co-Editor-in-Chief of Sensors & Diagnostics.

An Austrian-educated native, Dr. Sabine Szunerits received her PhD from Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London, in 1998. She undertook postdoctoral work at the ENS, Paris, Tufts University, Boston, ENSCPB, Bordeaux, and CEA Grenoble, France, before starting her independent research career as a professor in 2004 at the INPGrenoble.  In 2009 she joined the University of Lille, notably the Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology (IEMN), as Full Professor in Chemistry. In 2010 she was appointed ‘member junior‘ at the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) for a period of 5 years for her research excellence. In 2018 she was awarded the ‘médaille d’argent du CNRS‘ for her contribution to sensors and nanomedicine for fighting bacterial and viral infections. Her research group interests focus on the use of chemistry and materials science principles to tackle unmet medical- and biosensing-related problems such as fighting viral and bacterial infections using nanomaterials, sensitive bacterial and viral sensing, or transdermal delivery of macromolecular drugs. She is also one of the co-founders of CorDial-IT, a start-up in innovative sensing technology.

Professor Szunerits has published many highly-cited papers throughout her career to date, and continues to be an influential and well-respected member of the sensing community. Read some of her recent papers below.
