Laboratory of electrochemical MATerials and bioInterfaces (eMATI)

About us

eMATI research focuses on novel nano- and microtechnologies to boost the performance of electrochemical systems developed for ad hoc applications. These engineered platforms will have enhanced performance for therapeutic purposes (high and stable molecular loading, rapid and controlled therapeutic release) and for sensing (high selectivity, specificity and sensitivity, fast time-response, excellent measurements reproducibility and signal stability).  Considering the huge demand of curved, stretchable and biodegradable platforms for health monitoring, another goal of eMATI is to find new fabrication strategies to construct effectively functioning electrochemical cells on soft substrates.  eMATI designs array-based electrochemical platforms based on novel electrodes for controlling body parts and biological processes on chip.

Our Philosophy

eMATI aims to help students to become independent learners and young researchers to fully express their creativity. They are fully encouraged to open new scientific research lines! To do so, everyone is fully-supported by the rest of the team members and we work together to achieve research goals more efficiently!

People are central in eMATI, thus we focus on the identification of each individual’s attitude and we help each person to build his/her own professional path. Because of this, the eMATI activities are ranging from research which is very fundamental in nature to technological transfer initiatives. In a long term, all our research findings must be fruitful for realizing practical technologies!
