Nanobiosensors

Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu is a lecturer in the Department of Science and Engineering of Oxide Materials and Nanomaterials, at the Faculty of Applied Chemistry and Materials Science, Politehnica University of Bucharest, Romania. He is an experienced researcher and published editor in the field of nano and biostructures. He is the editor-in-chief of two international open access journals: Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry, Letters and Applied NanoBioScience. Dr. Grumezescu has published more than 200 peer-reviewed papers, authored nine books, and has served as an editor for more than 50 scholarly books.

"Through discussing the applications of nanotechnology in biosensor development for food testing and analysis, the book presents a very full list of sensor techniques. The volume fulfils the series’ aims of bringing together the most recent and innovative applications of nanotechnology in the agri-food industry and of presenting future perspectives in the design of new or alternative foods. This is a book that will benefit not only workers in food testing and analysis but also broader areas of the chemical and biosensing community, although it could have potentially been further enriched with the comments of the commercialisation status of the biosensors discussed." --Johnson Matthey Technology Review
