Who is Anthony Guiseppi-Elie?

Anthony "Tony" Guiseppi-Elie, Sc.D., FAIMBE is noted for his research and commercial development of biologically inspired and chemically responsive polymers that combine hydrogels possessing biologically inspired moieties with one-dimensional organic conductors. The resulting stimuli-responsive polymers are being developed as smart materials for controlled drug release, biosensors and for use in bionics. Tony is noted for his contributions to work on the development of controversial implantable biochips, DNA microarrays, and for his Guiseppi Prediction. Tony is also founder, president and scientific director of ABTECH Scientific, Inc, a professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, a professor of Bioengineering and a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. As director of the Center for Bioelectronics, Biosensors, and Biochips, he purses the development of electronic noses, implantable biochips and implantable bio-smart materials for human health applications. He obtained his Sc.D in Materials Science and Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his M.Sc. in Corrosion Science and Chemical Engineering from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology and his B.Sc. in Applied and Analytical Chemistry from the University of the West Indies. His work has resulted in the commercialization of a wide variety of biochip substrates used in BioMEMS devices and his implantable biochip is under commercial development at ABTECH Scientific, Inc.
