Prof. Jonas<\/span> Bergquist<\/span><\/div>
Uppsala University<\/div>

<\/p>

Prof. Jonas Bergquist:<\/strong> \u201cToday's chemical analysis must be adapted to the complex biological reality. Our research group is trying to find methods that are able to measure changes in endogenous (body-specific) substances early in a disease process. Substances that can function as biomarkers for early diagnosis contribute to the understanding of what initiates a disease.\u201d<\/p>

Prof. Nicole<\/span> Gilon Delepine<\/span><\/div>
UCBL<\/div>

Prof. Nicole Gilon Delepine<\/strong>: \"The search for fast but accurate analytical tools is essential in process control (industrial analysis), it goes from atomic spectroscopy to organic molecules separation or electrochemical sensors. Moreover, data analysis and chemical engineering are now essential to develop tomorrow\u2019s eco-efficient processes\"<\/p>

Associate Prof.<\/b>\u00a0Koit Herodes<\/strong>: \u201cWithin the past 10 years the whole area of trace contaminant (pesticides, drug residues, toxicants, etc) detection has been revolutionized by the development of new measurement instrumentation. I am glad that we have been able to keep pace with these developments.\u201d<\/p>
