Vladyslav Mishyn

I am Dr. Vladyslav Mishyn, French-Ukrainian researcher with a strong competence in electrochemistry, surface modification, bioelectronics, and graphene nanomaterials. My academic journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Taras Shevchenko University of Kyiv (Ukraine) and then Master’s degree in Advanced Spectroscopy in Chemistry, earned between the University of Lille (France) and the University of Leipzig (Germany). I later pursued a PhD at the University of Lille, where my work focused on graphene-based biosensing, a field that bridges 2D nanomaterial, biology and surface chemistry with practical applications in health and diagnostics. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher funded by Labex Arcane in the DCM Laboratory at the University of Grenoble-Alpes (France), where my work explores bioelectrodes combined with natural polymers for biosensing applications. 

My PhD and first postdoc in the University of Reims reinforced my passion for the field of bioelectrochemistry and high-tech device manufacturing and characterization. Working on carbon-based bioelectrodes not only challenged me scientifically but also showed me how interdisciplinary collaboration—combining electronics, chemistry, and biology—could lead to a good scientific production. This experience inspired me to continue pushing the boundaries of bioelectronics and explore how natural materials can help to create more efficient, sustainable, and improved biosensors.

My greatest scientific achievement lies in optimizing the design of biosensors and bioelectrodes by applying various surface strategies and electrode’s design, leading to advancements in biosensing and electroenzymatic reactions. These findings have allowed me to contribute to the scientific community and present my research at international conferences. Moreover, my work seamlessly connects my academic journey—from my master's program through my PhD and postdoctoral research—creating a continuous and interconnected research profile in this field with a strong publication record.

Labex Arcane allows me to work in an exceptional environment in Grenoble (widely called “France’s Silicon Valley”) for conducting an innovative and interdisciplinary research. It focusses on electrochemistry, production of nature-derived membranes combined with MOFs and biosensing which aligns perfectly with my expertise and research interests. The opportunity to work in a collaborative ecosystem with CERMAV institute that brings together experts from polysaccharide field is highly appreciated. Furthermore, Labex Arcane provides funding for my research and the access to state-of-the-art facilities and resources.

Looking ahead, my goal is to continue advancing in the field of bioelectronics and nanomaterials in France. In the longer term, I am also interested in collaborations between academia and industry to bridge the lab-scale devices with real-world practical applications. I will look for a permanent position as a researcher in academia or, perhaps, in industry to contribute to the development of technologies that make a difference in people’s lives.
