Carlo Augusto BORTOLOTTI

Carlo Augusto BORTOLOTTI is an Associate Professor in the Department of Life Sciences at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. His research focuses on the intersection of physical chemistry, biosensors, and electrochemistry, with particular emphasis on organic electronic devices and their applications in biomedical diagnostics. He explores topics such as heme protein functionality, bioelectrocatalysis, and the development of advanced sensors for detecting biomarkers in complex fluids.

Key research areas include:

• Organic transistor-based biosensors for detecting biogenic amines, cytokines, and anti-drug antibodies
• Electrochemical characterization of heme proteins and their role in hydrogen production
• Mechanisms of protein-ligand interactions using label-free detection methods
• Epigenetic biomarkers for neurological and oncological conditions

His work bridges material science and biology, advancing technologies for medical diagnostics, renewable energy, and environmental monitoring. Recent studies highlight innovations in neuromorphic organic electronics and the use of extracellular vesicles for cancer biomarker discovery.
