Short CV (pdf)

Serge Cosnier is Research Director at CNRS and heads the research group "Biosystèmes Electrochimiques et Analytiques" at the Joseph Fourier University of Grenoble (France) where he began his research career in 1983. He received his doctoral degree in Chemistry from the Paul Sabatier University of Toulouse (1982) and habilitated at the Joseph Fourier University (1988). Previously, he was an Alexander von Humbold postdoctoral fellow at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany.

Since 2001, he is the President of the French Group of Bioelectrochemistry and Director of the CNRS unit GDR 2619 «Microbiosensors». He was recently elected President of the Rhône-Alpes section of the Chemical Society of France (2007). He is also member of several editorial board of Electroanalysis, Talanta, Current Analytical Chemistry and The Open Analytical Chemistry Journal.

Since 1990, his main activity is focused on modified electrodes and bioelectrochemistry. His research interests are in electrochemical biosensors, immunosensors and protein sensors, electrogenerated polymers and biofuel cells.

Dr. Cosnier has authored over 205 peer reviewed publications and has received two National CMC2 Prize in the sensor field. In 2009 Serge Cosnier received the Katsumi Niki Prize for Bioelectrochemistry from the International Society of Electrochemistry where he was appointed as fellow in 2010.
