Separations Webinar | Advancements in Analysis of Biomarkers via Gas Chromatography, 28 August 2025

Welcome from the webinar Chair:

We’re thrilled to have you join us for this special event, hosted by the MDPI journal Separations (ISSN: 2297-8739) in celebration of our Special Issue, “Chromatographic Analysis of Biomarkers”.

For over five decades, gas chromatography has played a pivotal role in biomarker discovery, enabling the precise profiling of volatile and semi-volatile compounds. This webinar brings together leading voices from academia and industry to highlight cutting-edge innovations and real-world applications that are shaping the future of public health and personalized medicine.

We hope this event not only honors the journal’s legacy of excellence but also sparks new ideas, collaborations, and breakthroughs that will propel the field forward.
