This book provides an overview of organic molecule-based fluorescent compounds and their applications as sensors and biosensors. The initial chapter introduces fundamental fluorescence concepts and their significance in biosensing. The book, in turn, details the synthesis of various scaffolds including xanthene, BODIPY, julolidine, cyanine, quinoline, phenanthiridine, acridine, rhodamine,... Read more

Biography

Dr. Abha Sharma earned her Ph.D. from the Defence Research and Development Establishment (awarded by Jiwaji University), Gwalior, India, in 2006. She has worked at the Indian Institute of Toxicology Research (IITR), Lucknow as a Research Associate for more than three and a half years. Since 2010, she has been working as a faculty member in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry at the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Raebareli, India. Currently, she is serving as an Associate Professor in the same department. Her research area includes the design and synthesis of molecules for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and the development of sensors/probes for the detection of analytes/biomarkers of various central nervous system diseases such as AD. Her publications include nearly 60 high-impact journal papers and book chapters, and she has been granted several patents. She has also served as a referee for some international journals and guided several students to the completion of their research projects.
