Esteban Piccinini holds a degree in chemistry from UNLP (2014). He completed a doctoral thesis in chemistry on the synthesis and characterization of supramolecular nanomaterials for the construction of functional bioelectronic interfaces, under the supervision of Dr. Azzaroni (INIFTA) and Dr. Battaglini (INQUIMAE). During a 12-month research stay at the Biosensor Technologies Laboratory of the Austrian Institute of Technology (Vienna), under the direction of Dr. Knoll, he acquired knowledge in 2D semiconductor materials and field-effect transistor devices. In 2020, he received the Luis Federico Leloir Award for the best doctoral thesis in chemistry, awarded by UBA. Subsequently, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the development and clinical validation of bioelectronic sensing devices under the co-direction of Dr. Arranz (IQUIMEFA) and Dr. Marmisolle (INIFTA).<\/p>\n

Since 2019, Dr. Piccinini has been the scientific leader of Gisens Biotech, a startup that develops and manufactures digital, portable, and at-home medical diagnostic technologies based on graphene bioelectronic sensors. The technological developments of the startup have been recognized and supported by numerous national and international institutions: Skydeck Berkeley (Berkeley University), CDL (University of Toronto), LATAM 100k (ITBA-MIT), IB50k (Instituto Balseiro), Korea-LAC Business Summit (IDB), and eAwards (NTT Data Foundation), among others.<\/p>\n

In recognition of his innovative contributions, Dr. Piccinini was chosen as Innovator Under 35 by MIT Technology Review in 2022 (www.innovatorsunder35.com\/the-list\/esteban-piccinini<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Currently, Dr. Piccinini is also Tenured Scientific Researcher (CONICET) in the Soft Matter Laboratory at the National University of La Plata. His research projects involve the synthesis of electroactive polymers and 2D semiconductor materials, the nanoconstruction of functional interfaces with heterofunctional chemistries, and the design and development of bioelectronic devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>
