Sabine Szunerits is professor of chemistry at the Université de Lille 1, France, and was nominated in 2011 a member of the Institut Universitaire de France. Her current research interests are in the area of materials science with emphasis on the development of novel analytical platforms and interfaces for the study of affinity binding events and in the modification of nanostructures (diamond particles, magnetic particles, and nanographene) for biomedical applications. She is a co-author of more than 186 research publications, has written several book chapters, and has 6 patents to her credit.

Rabah Boukherroub is a director of research at the CNRS, France, and a group leader at the Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology, Université de Lille 1. His research interests are in the area of synthesis of functional nanomaterials (metal and semiconductor nanoparticles, semiconductor nanowires, graphene, carbon nanodots, etc.), surface chemistry, and photophysics of semiconductor/metal nanostructures with emphasis on biosensors and lab-on-chip applications, drug delivery, and development of new tools for studying molecular dynamics in vivo. He is a co-author of more than 310 research publications and has written 22 book chapters in subjects related to nanotechnology, materials chemistry, and biosensors. He has 9 patents or patents pending.
