Fabio Biscarini

Fabio Biscarini is a Full Professor of Chemistry at the Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE) and Principal Investigator at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) since 2019, where he leads the Organic Neuroelectronics research line.

• PhD in Chemistry (University of Oregon, 1991-1993; University of New Mexico, 1989-1991)
• Laurea in Industrial Chemistry (Università di Bologna, 1981-1986)

His research spans organic bioelectronics, focusing on label-free biosensors and implantable neuroelectronics. Earlier work covered self-organized nanostructures, unconventional nanofabrication, and charge injection mechanisms. He pioneered applications of dewetting transitions and self-assembly in nanotechnology.

His publications address neuromorphic devices, organic transistors, and bioelectronic interfaces. Awards include the EU Descartes Award (2007) and Premio Sapio Industria (2012). He co-invented 20 patents and founded three startups: Scriba Nanotecnologie srl (2005-2020), Nano4bio Srl (2008-2015), and Organic Bioelectronics Srl (2019-present).
