Ikerbasque Research Professors Luis M. Liz Marzán and Maurizio Prato, both group leaders at CIC biomaGUNE, appear in the highly cited researchers list published by Clarivate Analytics (former branch of the Thomson Reuters agency dedicated to intellectual property and science)
The list includes the 3,000 most cited researchers in the world of 21 fields of science and social sciences.

The data used in the analysis and selection of the new Highly Cited Researchers came from the articles published in scientific and social science journals indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, between the years 2004 and 2014. Only those articles that were between 1% of the most cited by field and year in the Web of Science, were considered

Liz Marzán is scientific director of CIC biomaGUNE, and group leader at CIC biomaGUNE and CIBER-BBN. He holds a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Santiago de Compostela and is closely linked to the University of Vigo, where he has headed the Colloidal Chemistry Research Group for 17 years, before being appointed scientific director of the Basque center. He has developed his research in the fields of colloidal and nanoplasmic chemistry, through which he seeks to reach applications in biomedicine.

Maurizio Prato is group leader at CIC biomaGUNE where he holds an AXA Chair on Neuroscience applied to spinal cord injuries. He received his “Laurea” degree in Chemistry at the Unoversity of Padova, where he was appointed Assistant Professor in 1983. Since 1992 he has been leading the Carbon Nanotechnology group at the University of Trieste (Italy), being appointed Full Professor in 2000 and since 2015 he is Ikerbasque Research Professor and leader of the Carbon Nanobiotechnology Group at CIC biomaGUNE. He has developed his research in the field of carbon nanosciences for bio-nanotechnology applications and his current research focuses on the development of functional carbon-based interfaces with enhanced performance in the field of biosensing and diagnostics.
