A new journal covering the research fields related to biometals
Professor Ryszard Lobinski
is research director at the CNRS (Laboratory of Analytical Bioinorganic and Environmental Chemistry in Pau) and professor of chemistry at the Warsaw University of Technology. He obtained his Ph.D. (1989) and D.Sc. (habilitation) (1994) degrees from the Warsaw University of Technology, Poland. He held postdoctoral positions at the Institute of Spectroscopy and Applied Spectrometry (ISAS) in Dortmund (1990) and at the University of Antwerp (U.I.A.) (1991-1994) before joining in 1994 the National Research Council of France (CNRS). R. Lobinski is the author or co-author of over 200 articles in international journals, 3 books, 3 edited journal issues, and about 90 invited lectures at international meetings. He received the CNRS 2006 Silver Medal and is fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. He is also the co-director of UltraTrace Analyses Aquitaine (UT2A) (a startup company at the University of Pau) and Past-President of the Analytical Chemistry Division of IUPAC. His principal research interest is the development of analytical approaches to species-specific (speciation) analysis for trace and ultratrace metals in environmental and nutrition chemistry and in life sciences.
