Alice Tang-Turner

Dr Alice Tang is the Managing Editor of Biosensors and Bioelectronics. She received her first degree in Chemistry, from Hunan University, in 1983 and began her career as a research chemist in Wuhan. She then moved to Sweden and obtained a PhD degree from Lund University in 1997. Her main research area for her PhD was enzyme-based amperometric biosensors. In March 2000, she was awarded an EU Marie Curie Fellowship and moved to the National University of Ireland. During a two-year stay there, Dr Tang mainly worked with immunosensors, screen-printed electrodes and the quartz crystal microbalance.

In March 2002, Dr Tang moved to Cranfield University in the UK as Scientific Assistant to Professor Turner and Editorial Assistant for Biosensors and Bioelectronics. She was granted Academic Status at Cranfield University in 2003. On the recommendation of the Editorial Board, she was then promoted to Assistant Editor and finally to Managing Editor. Under her stewardship, the number of submissions rose from 250 in 2002, to 1,866 in 2010, and the Impact Factor of the journal rose from 2.5 in 2002, to 5.429 in 2009. Biosensors & Bioelectronics is now ranked first for research journals in the ISI Analytical Chemistry section (69 journals). In September 2010, Dr Alice Tang moved to Linköping University, Sweden and continues there as Managing Editor of Biosensors and Bioelectronics.
