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.

MDPI invites you to join the very first MDPI Topic Editor Club. This new initiative was designed as a platform to highlight emerging research themes, share editorial experiences, and foster meaningful connections among Topic Editors worldwide.
MDPI Topics are collections of papers on a shared theme, published across two or more MDPI journals. They allow researchers from different fields to collaborate, explore common ideas, and reach wider audiences. Each topic is led by a team of Topic Editors with expertise in different areas and supported by MDPI’s simple and efficient publishing process.
The Topic Editor Club brings together several Topic Editors from various disciplines to showcase their work, discuss both challenges and successes, and share new ideas for developing impactful topics. It presents a great opportunity to learn from one another, explore cross-disciplinary collaborations, and support the growth of open access research together.
We hope you will join us for this exciting first session of the MDPI Topic Editor Club and welcome your thoughts and questions during the live Q&A segment. Please find the schedule and speaker list below.
Date: 4 September 2025 at 2:00 p.m. CEST | 8:00 p.m. CST (Asia)
