Nevin Öztekin serves as an Associate Professor (Docent) in the Department of Chemistry at Istanbul Technical University, Turkey, where he maintains an active research profile with publications spanning from 1996 to 2025. His work centers on advancing analytical methodologies, particularly capillary electrophoresis coupled with contactless conductivity detection, for applications in clinical diagnostics and environmental analysis.
Dr. Öztekin's research expertise spans analytical chemistry and separation science, with specialized focus on biosensor development and clinical diagnostics. He has pioneered capillary electrophoresis techniques for detecting urinary metabolites like orotic acid, $$ ext{2-hydroxyglutaric acid}$$, and ethylmalonic acid to diagnose inborn errors of metabolism. His environmental research includes adsorption studies using modified bentonite clays for dye removal and cation analysis in food matrices like pomegranate juice, demonstrating cross-disciplinary applications of his separation science expertise.
Recent publications (2023-2025) reveal a strategic expansion into materials science with biocompatible wound-dressing films and neuropharmacological investigations, while maintaining core advancements in capillary electrophoresis sensitivity through field-amplified sample stacking. This evolution shows consistent methodological refinement for complex biological matrices alongside novel applications in metabolic disorder diagnostics and environmental monitoring.
As Principal Investigator for 9 research projects funded by Istanbul Technical University's Scientific Research Program (SRP), Dr. Öztekin has secured continuous support for method development in newborn metabolic screening, pharmaceutical nitrosamine detection, and food safety analysis. His supervision of 7 graduate students reflects active mentorship in analytical chemistry, with projects emphasizing practical applications of separation science in healthcare and environmental sectors.
The research group operates within Istanbul Technical University's Department of Chemistry, focusing on high-impact method development for clinical diagnostics and environmental analysis. Current initiatives integrate chemometric optimization with capillary electrophoresis to enhance detection limits for metabolites, while exploring new applications in pharmaceutical quality control and biomaterial synthesis for medical use.
