  • Description: Professor Tebello Nyokong was awarded the 2009/2010 CEO (Celebrating excellence in organisations) Most Influential Women in Business and Government (MIW) in the Education and Teaching Sector and was named as a runner-up in the Quality of Life category of the Department of Science and Technology's (DST) 2009 Distinguished Woman Scientist Award. Holding a DST/NRF South African Research Chairs Initiative Chair in Medicinal Chemistry and Nanotechnology, she is also the Director of the DST/Mintek Nanotechnology Innovation Centre (NIC) for Sensors. Her pioneering research into photodynamic therapy to harness light for cancer therapy and the early detection of human diseases and environmental clean-up continues to draw attention for more reasons than are immediately apparent.

  • Description: We present an overview of the successes and challenges still faced in the detection of NO, O2˙− and ONOO− in biological media. We provide a full discussion on the electrochemical analyses of each of these species and we summarise the significant research contributions towards the development of sensors for individual and simultaneous detection of these species. We emphasize the importance of understanding the potential interferents in developing such sensors. We show that significant advances have been made with regard to the detection of NO in biological media leading to the development of marketable NO sensors, though there is room for improvement in terms of interferences. A brief outlook into the future perspectives of the use of a multi-electrochemical array sensor for simultaneous detection of NO, O2˙− and ONOO− is presented.
