Vladimir M. Mirsky is Professor at Regensburg University, Germany. He graduated from Moscow Medical University in 1981 as M.D. in biophysics and went on to study physical chemistry and electrochemistry at the Frumkin Institute of Electrochemistry of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, obtaining his Ph.D. in 1986. He subsequently held an Alexander-von-Humboldt Research Fellowship and a research position at the CNRS Centre of Molecular Biology in France prior to joining the Institute of Analytical Chemistry at Regensburg University in 1995. He editor of two recent books, "Ultrathin Electrochemical Chemo- and Biosensors" and "Combinatorial Methodologies for Development of Chemical and Biological Sensors". His work has led to 18 patents and patent applications as well as some 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers.

From the reviews:

"The book's topic - chemical and biosensors - is still a rapidly growing field of research ... . The book is highly suited to researchers in analytical and bioanalytical chemistry at any level, including PhD students. The volume contains a selection of competent contributions from well-recognized authors. Congratulations are due to the series editor O. S. Wolfbeis and the volume editor V. M. Mirsky." -- Frieder W. Scheller, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 386, 2006
