The PI, Neus Sabaté, has been an ICREA Research Professor at the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) since 2015 and the leader of the Self-Powered Engineered Devices (SPEED). She obtained her PhD in Physics from University of Barcelona in 2003, where she developed flow and gas sensors for industrial applications. After, she joined IZM Fraunhofer in Berlin, where she played a key role in the development of a new technique for stress measurements in thin films for the microelectronics industry. Back to Barcelona in 2006, she started a research line from scratch on microfuel cell development. After years of intense research and development of fuel cells with different fabrication technologies, she evolved her paper-based methanol fuel cells to a paper-based battery activated by body fluids and able to deliver stable power for several hours. The paper battery became the cornerstone of Fuelium, a spin-off co-founded by Sabaté in 2015, aimed at commercializing disposable paper batteries for single use applications (www.fuelium.tech). Being CEO during a brief period and as Scientific Advisor since 2016, her company plays a very relevant role in her research activities as professor, as it has given her the opportunity to meet with CTOs of many diagnostic companies and learn about the industry challenges and needs. These interactions have sharpened significantly her solution-oriented vision that she later applies to develop meaningful prototypes in her laboratory. In this sense, the ERC Consolidator Grant SUPERCELL provided her with a high-performing multidisciplinary team that during project execution developed different types of self-powered electrochemical sensors. During 2016-2018, her team developed a self-powered patch for ionic conductivity measurement of sweat that could be potentially used for cystic fibrosis screening. She obtained the ERC-PoC grant POWER-PATCH in 2019 that allowed testing the patch in patient volunteers of the largest paediatric hospital of Barcelona. After obtaining promising results, Sabaté and her colleagues founded Sweanty in July 2021, a spin-off that aims at the patch technology commercialization (www.sweanty.tech). Her innovative vision on the quest of generating sustainable solutions for single use diagnostic devices and the capability of transferring them to the market by launching and co-funding spin-off initiatives has been recently acknowledged with several awards. In 2020, she was appointed Finalist of the EU Women Innovators in the Main Category award, she obtained the national Prize of Physics, Innovation and Technology of the Spanish Royal Society of Physics and was awarded with the Award to Technological Innovation from the Foundation for Entrepreneurial Women of Catalonia.
