About

Johannes Bintinger is Assistant Professor of Theranostic Chemistry at TU Wien (Austria), where he develops novel chemical and bioelectronic tools for diagnostics and therapies. His research bridges organic electronics, bioorthogonal chemistry, and smart drug delivery systems, with the aim of enabling programmable, minimally invasive theranostic platforms.

Background
Johannes Bintinger received his Master’s degree in Technical Chemistry from the TU Wien (Austria) in 2011, based on his work on C-H activation of triarylamines and oligothiophenes (Prof. Johannes Fröhlich).

PhD
In spring 2016, he earned his PhD (TU Wien), for his work "on the design and synthesis of novel organic semiconductors towards their applications in organic electronics applications" such as self-assembled monolayer field-effect transistors (SAMFETs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), printed organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and (gas-) sensors (in collaboration with Prof. Ioannis Kymissis at Columbia University, NY, USA).

PostDoc #1 and NOSI Start-Up
Later that year, he joined the team of Prof. Wolfgang Knoll (AIT, CEST) in the BioSensor Technologies group as a postdoctoral researcher, where he worked on a novel optoelectronic sensor platform which combines SPR and EG-FET methods in a single analytical device thus enabling simultaneous, lable-free, real-time measurements of mass and charge. This tool allows for new insights into biosensing processes which are beyond the scope of each individual tool. In an industry oriented project he developed a biomimetic and polymer based digital IoT-smell sensor capable of discriminating various real-world odors in less than 15 s. The company NOSI - Network for Olfactory System Intelligence - was launched in winter of 2023.

PostDoc #2 and n-ink Start-Up
In summer of 2019, Johannes joined the Laboratory of Organic Electronics at LIU under the supervision of Prof. Magnus Berggren conducting research on the next generation of organic electronic ion pumps and focusing on solving the current size limitation of the iontronic transport. In summer/fall of 2023 Johannes was appointed as Assistant Professor for Bioelectronics at LIU and received the ERC Starting Grant.
From Jan 2021 until Sep 2024 he was the CEO of 'n-Ink' (now Westra Materials); a material science start-up company that provides high-performing, scalable conductive polymers that boost battery and solar cell performance to provide solutions for the electrification of the future.

Assistant Prof. TU Wien - Theranostic Chemistry
Since September 2024 Johannes is an Assistant Prof. for Theranostic Chemistry at TU Wien where he develops novel tools for diganostics and therapies using controlled drug delivery systems, bioelectronic devices and diagnostic tools that converge chemistry, electronics and clinical translation.
