Fred Lisdat is a Professor of Biosystems Technology at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau, Germany. He is also the director of the Institute of Life Sciences and Biomedical Technologies (since 2014) and the study course director (since 2019). He plays an active role in international scientific organisations such as the International Society of Electrochemistry - ISE - (Chair of Bioelectrochemistry Division 2015-2019) or the Bioelectrochemical Society - BES - (Secretary general, President) and has organised several scientific meetings. His research interests include biosensors, recycling schemes, detection of reactive oxygen species, protein electrochemistry, label-free detection of DNA and proteins, artificial protein arrangements on electrodes, protein engineering, semiconductor nanostructures on electrodes for sensing, biofuel cells, carbon nanostructures, conducting polymers, macroporous electrodes and photobioelectrochemistry. He has authored 175+ peer-reviewed articles, 15 book chapters and 3 patents. Nicolas Plumeré is a Professor of Electrobiotechnology at the TU Munich, Germany, with an active role in the council of the Bioelectrochemical Society, on the board of ECHEMS, and on the advisory board of Chemical Science (RSC). He organized 10+ scientific meetings and edited several special issues on the topic of bioelectrochemistry. His research group specializes in interfacing biocatalytic systems on electrodes for applications in energy conversion, electrosynthesis and electrochemical biosensing. Notable achievements include the integration of hydrogenase and CO2 reducing enzymes on electrodes to produce H2 and complex organic molecules using renewable energy. Fundamental findings on wiring enzymes with electrodes also led to applications in bioelectrochemical sensing for personalized medicine and precision agriculture.
