Serge Cosnier is research director at CNRS and head of the Department of Molecular Chemistry at Grenoble Alpes University, France. He received his doctoral degree in chemistry from Toulouse University (1982) and was an Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral fellow. Dr. Cosnier’s activity is focused on biosensors, biofuel cells, electrogenerated polymers, molecular electrochemistry, and carbon nanotubes. He has made important contributions in the area of enzymatic biofuel cells, electrochemical biosensors, immunosensors and DNA sensors, and inorganic composite modified electrodes and is an international leader in the field of electropolymerized films applied to bioelectrochemistry. Dr. Cosnier has authored over 285 peer-reviewed publications (h-index 48), 2 books, and 17 book chapters; holds 13 patents; and was the president of the French Group of Bioelectrochemistry (2001–2014). In 2009, he received the Katsumi Niki Prize of the International Society of Electrochemistry and was appointed Fellow of the society in 2010. In 2013, Dr. Cosnier became a member of the Academia Europaea and was nominated as a finalist for the European Inventor Award 2014 by the European Patent Office.

"This is an excellent book on modern electrochemical biosensors, edited by Professor Cosnier and written by leading international experts. It covers state-of-the-art topics of this important field in a clear and timely manner."—Joseph Wang, UC San Diego, USA "This book covers, in 13 well-illustrated chapters, the potential of electrochemical methods intimately combined with a biological component for the assay of various analytes of biological and environmental interest. Particular attention is devoted to the description of electrochemical microtools in close contact with a biological cell for exocytosis monitoring and to the use of nanomaterials in the electrochemical biosensor architecture for signal improvement. Interestingly, one chapter describes the concept and design of self-powered biosensors derived from biofuel cells. Each topic is reviewed by experts very active in the field. This timely book is well suited for providing a good overview of current research trends devoted to electrochemical biosensors."—Jean-Michel Kauffmann, Editor-in-Chief, Talanta, Free University of Brussels, Belgium"Written by leading international experts in different fields of electrochemical transduction for biological phenomena and biosensors, this timely book is well suited for graduate students and scientists, providing a good overview of current research trends and perspectives in the area."—J.
