Dr. Serge Cosnier is currently Emeritus Director of Research at CNRS at the Grenoble Alpes University (France) and professor at the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice (Poland). He also is the scientific director of the POLYNAT Carnot Institutedevoted to the design of new bio-based functional bio-sourced materials. His activity is focused on the molecular electrochemistry and bioelectrochemistry with the development of electrode materials whose applications include analytical chemistry with biological sensors, electrocatalysis, photochemistry, electrochemiluminescence, bioreactors, electrochemical biomimetic systems and energy bioconversion with biofuel cells, hybrid fuel cells and abiotic fuel cells. His research interests deal with the immobilization of macromolecular biomolecules and transduction of their molecular recognition properties or catalytic activity for the design of biosensors, bioreactors and biofuel cells. He has developed innovative conceptual advances in the field of electrogenerated organic polymers, inorganic nanostructured materials and 3D nanostructured conductive materials based on carbon nanotubes.He has thus made important contributions in the area of biomimetic sensors, enzymatic biofuel cells, electrochemical biosensors, immunosensors, apta sensors and DNA sensors. He serves as Editor of Bioelectrochemistry and Specialty Chief Editor of Frontiers in Analytical Chemistry. Dr Cosnier has authored over 413 peer reviewed publications (h-index WoS 72, Google Scholar 88). In 2010, he was appointed as Fellow of the International Society of Electrochemistry. In 2013, Dr Cosnier became a member of the Academia Europaea and was elected member of the European Academy of Sciences in 2019 and Fellow of American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering in 2021.In 2024, he received the Giulio Milazzo Prize of the Bioelectrochemistry Society.
