Sibel A. Ozkan studied at Ankara University, from where she received her Pharmacy degree in 1985. She obtained her Masters (1988) and PhD (1994) degrees in the same university, Analytical Chemistry Department. She has become full professor 2003. She has been involved in several analytical chemistry projects related to electroanalytical chemistry and separation techniques on drug active compounds and DNA-Drug interactions. She has organized and participated in organizing committees of a number of international meetings related to Pharmaceutical Sciences (Series of ISOPS-Ankara-Turkey). Her research interest focuses on the electrochemical investigations of pharmaceutically active compounds and their analysis using electroanalytical, chromatographic and spectrophotometric methods, and their validations. Her research area currently moves to the development of DNA biosensors and their interactions with drugs. She is currently a faculty member at the Analytical Chemistry Department at Faculty of Pharmacy, Ankara University. Prof. Ozkan is active as a referee with Talanta, Electrochimica Acta, Analytica Chimica Acta, Chromatographia, Analytical Letters, Sensor and Actuator B, Biosensors & Bioelectronics, Journal of Separation Science and etc. She is a member of Editorial Board of Chromatographia, Talanta, The Open Analytical Chemistry Journal, The Global Journal of Analytical Chemistry, Journal of Hacettepe University, Faculty of Pharmacy, and Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (FABAD). She was Vice Editor of the Special Issue of CHROMATOGRAPHIA Vol. 66, 2007, “Application of Separation Techniques in Turkey” with Dr. Henk LINGEMAN (CHROMATOGRAPHIA Editor). She received Ankara University Scientific Promotion Award in 2003 and Turkish Pharmaceutical Association, Academy of Pharmacy Science Award in 2008. Prof. Ozkan is an author of 124 original and review papers. Some selected publications are cited below.
