Dr. Eden Morales-Narváez (orcid: 0000-0002-1536-825X, h-index: 25) received a degree in Bionics Engineering from the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) of Mexico in 2006 and the PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), Spain in 2013. He was a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at Nanobioelectronics and Biosensors Group (led by Prof. Arben Merkoçi), Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), Barcelona Spain. His research is focused on the development and application of micro/nanomaterials-based sensing platforms for small molecules, proteins and cell analysis, particularly using graphene related-materials, quantum dots nanocrystals, nanocellulose and optical transduction systems at the cutting-edge. He has published several papers in leading scientific journals related to advanced materials, nanotechnology, multidisciplinary chemistry, miniaturization and biosensing technology. He is currently a Full Research Scientist at CIO and head of the Biophotonic Nanosensors Laboratory. He is a lecturer in Biophotonics and Photonic Materials at CIO. He is also part of the Editorial Board of several journals, including Biosensors and Bioelectronics X, Green Analytical Chemistry, JPhys Photonics, Biosensors and Frontiers (Nanobiotechnology Section). He has also been internationally recognized as an Emerging Leader 2020 by IOP Publishing.
