Arben Merkoçi

Arben Merkoçi is ICREA Research Professor and head of the Nanobioelectronics & Biosensors Group at Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology, CIN2 (ICN-CSIC) in Bellaterra (Barcelona), Spain. He studied industrial chemistry at University of Tirana (Albania) and obtained the PhD at the same university working on the field of ion selective electrodes. Afterwards he has been working as postdoctoral fellow and research professor at Polytechnic University of Budapest (Hungary), University of Ioanina (Greece), Università degli Studi di Padua (Italy), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Spain), Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (Spain) and New Mexico State University (USA).

His research is focused on the integration of biological molecules (DNA, antibodies, cells and enzymes) and other species with micro- and nanostructures with interest for the design of novel sensors and biosensors. He is author of more than 150 manuscripts including editor of books and special journals issues dedicated to the field of nanomaterials applications in biosensors. He is editor of the new encyclopedic series “The Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Series” launched by John Wiley & Sons to serve as an international forum for the presentation of comprehensive nanoscience principles, nanotechnology tools, nanomaterials, nanobiosensors, nanobiotechnology and nanotechnology applications in the environment, in energy, electronics and computers, including discussion of ethical issues in this frontier science and technology.
