George Malliaras

George Malliaras is the Prince Philip Professor of Technology at the University of Cambridge, leading the Bioelectronics Laboratory. His research develops implantable and wearable devices interfacing with electrically active tissues for neurological disorders and brain cancer applications.

His educational background includes:

• BS in Physics from Aristotle University, Greece (1991)
• PhD in Mathematics and Physical Sciences, cum laude, from University of Groningen, Netherlands (1995)

Prof. Malliaras' work spans bioelectronics and organic electronics, focusing on neural interfaces and medical devices. His group pioneers organic electrochemical transistors and flexible bioelectronics for neural recording/stimulation, bridging fundamental science with clinical translation to improve neurological treatments.

Recent publications reveal strong trends in ultra-conformable neural interfaces for peripheral nerves and spinal cord applications, alongside fundamental studies of organic mixed conductors that enhance bioelectronic device performance.

His scientific awards include:

• Blaise Pascal Medal from the European Academy of Sciences
• Mid-Career Researcher Award from the Materials Research Society
• Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists from the New York Academy of Sciences
• Faculty Early Career Development Award from the US National Science Foundation
• Young Professor Award from DuPont
• Honorary Doctorate from the University of Linköping, Sweden
• Fellow of the Royal Society
• Fellow of the Materials Research Society
• Fellow of Academia Europaea
• Fellow of the European Academy of Sciences

Prof. Malliaras leads a multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and clinicians, mentoring numerous graduate students and securing major research funding. His group fosters innovation in healthcare technology translation through cross-disciplinary collaboration.

The Bioelectronics Laboratory serves as a hub for developing next-generation bioelectronic devices, integrating engineering, materials science, and clinical medicine to advance diagnostic and therapeutic applications for neurological conditions.
