Zhengping Li received his B.S. from Hebei University in 1985, M.S. from Shaanxi Normal University in 1991 and Ph.D. from Peking University in 1999. From 2000 to 2002, he conducted his postdoctoral research in Central Research Laboratory of Hitachi Ltd, Tokyo Japan. In 2002, he joined Hebei University as a Professor in analytical chemistry. He had worked in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Shaanxi Normal University from 2012 to 2016. Now he is the professor of School of Chemistry and Biological Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing.

Dr. Li got the projects supported by Program for New Century Excellent Talents in University (2005) and Program for Changjiang Scholars and Innovative Research Team in University (2011), and accessed to National Natural Science Funds for Distinguished Young Scholar in 2009. He was awarded National Excellent Teachers in 2005, the First Prize (2010), the Second Prize (2018) in Natural Science of HeBei Province and the Second Prize (2021) in Natural Science of Shaanxi Province. His research interests include molecular diagnosis based on genetic analysis, biosensing on micro/nano interface and single-molecule counting and imaging of living cells. He has authored or co-authored more than 200 peer-reviewed articles.

From the Back Cover

This book presents a comprehensive and up‑to‑date reference on nucleic acid detection technologies. It systematically introduces classical amplification‑based methods, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR), ligase chain reaction (LCR), loop‑mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), rolling circle amplification (RCA), isothermal exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR), helicase‑dependent amplification (HDA), and recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), as well as advanced nucleic acid detection approaches including CRISPR‑based technologies. In addition to methodological advances, the book provides an in‑depth overview of analytical strategies for key nucleic acid biomarkers. Bridging fundamental principles with application oriented insights, this volume serves as a valuable resource for researchers, graduate students, and professionals involved in nucleic acid testing, molecular diagnostics, and technology development across universities, research institutes, biotech companies, and clinical laboratories.
