FROM OUR EDITORIAL TEAM: SHANA O. KELLEY
Sweden where we have a relaxing time enjoying each other’s company, long walks in the forest, hunting mushrooms, and cooking. I have always loved to do gymnasticsas a child, it was rhythmic gymnasticstoday, I try to reach the local fitness center as much as possible, and when I travel, I go for a run. I have discovered that, for me, it is important to have a good balance, mentally and physically. As a family, we love to travelpreferably to warm exotic places where you can snorkel. We have, during the past 15 years, built up an interdisciplinary research group in nano- and micromechanical sensors (cantilevers, nanoparticles, resonating strings, and surface enhanced Raman scattering substrates). Approximately five years ago, we started to broaden our research area/interest by applying many of our developed technologies to develop micrometer-sized containers for oral drug delivery. This new area of medical research triggered the use of our developed sensors in characterization of materials used in drug delivery, and paved the way for research, as well as start-ups in the field of rapid diagnostics.

Current Position. Distinguished Professor, University of Toronto, Canada. Education. B.A. from Seton Hall University (1994), Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology (1999), and NIH Postdoctoral Fellow at Scripps Research Institute (1999− 2000). Nonscientific Interests. Two very active sons, 7 and 9. My research group works in a variety of areas, including the development of new types of materials for biomolecular sensors. We’ve learned over the past few years how to fabricate threedimensional electrodes, and have used these to achieve high levels of sensitivity and specificity for protein and nucleic acids analysis.

Current Position. Deputy Director, Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale Biophotonics; and Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. Education. Ph.D. in Physics, Warsaw University, Poland (1989); and Diploma in Higher Education Management, Macquarie University, Australia (2000). Nonscientific Interests. I studied abstract mathematics, well before reaching legal voting age, in a hothouse school, which was unconstrained by the official curriculum. Having spent my formative years in this environment, I am passionate about ideas, and the relationships between them, across broad areas of society and culture.

My interdisciplinary research spans the interface of nanotechnology, materials science, photonics, and their applications in the life sciences. I bring my expertise in ultrasensitive optical characterization to the development of novel approaches to biochemical and medical sensing. Recently, with my team, I developed a method for noninvasive high content cellular imaging and analysis of cell subpopulations. This was followed by inventing a cell labeling technology to identify and select cells based on the molecules that they are secreting, rather than their surface characteristics, which is the basis of existing methods. These research achievements have been recognized with a 2016 Australian Museum ANSTO Eureka Prize for Innovative Use of Technology. I work closely with industry to commercialize these inventions, and collaborate with biomedical partners, in Australia and internationally, to develop next-generation biomedical diagnostics.

Current Position. Philip J. Elving Professor of Chemistry, University of Michigan. Education. Ph.D., State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY-Buffalo) (1979). Nonscientific Interests. Playing basketball and golf. My research group focuses on developing electrochemical/ optical sensors, and other devices (e.g., catheters) for biomedical applications, including intravascular sensors/catheters that employ nitric oxide release/generation chemistry to prevent clotting and decrease risk of infection.

Current Position. Cheung Kong Professor, Department of Chemistry, Key Laboratory of Bioorganic Phosphorus Chemistry & Chemical Biology, Beijing Key Laboratory for Analytical Methods and Instrumentation, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. Education. B.S. in Chemical Physics and Macromolecular Materials & Engineering, University of Science and Technology of China, China (1991); Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry, Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China (1996); and Postdoctoral Fellow and Research Scientist at University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, University of California at Santa Barbara, and Clemson University (1997−2001). Nonscientific Interests. Reading, different cultures, and traveling with my family. My current research interests are mainly focused on electroanalytical chemistry and bioelectrochemistry; nanoelectrochemistry and fabrication of sensing interfaces for biosensing; single cell analysis and imaging; biological nanopore and solid-state nanochannel-based methods for single molecule analysis and nanofluidic devices; and fundamental aspects of energy conversion and storage.
