Anthony "Tony" Guiseppi-Elie, Sc.D., FRSC, FAIMBE, FIEEE is a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering of Texas A&M University. He is also founder, President and Scientific director of ABTECH Scientific, Inc. He is noted for his research and commercial development of biologically inspired and chemically responsive polymers, as related to bioanalytics, bioinformatics, and bionics.

Dr. Guiseppi-Elie initially focused on chemical engineering and materials science with his Sc.D research on the Synthesis and Characterization of Polyacetylene. However, medicine was the interest of his youth and eventually drew him to the expanding field of bioengineering, specifically research and commercial development of biologically inspired and chemically responsive polymers that combine hydrogels possessing biologically inspired moieties with one-dimensional organic conductors (conductive polymers and carbon nanotubes). The resulting stimuli-responsive polymers are being developed as smart materials for controlled drug release, biosensors and for use in bionics. He is noted for his work on the development of controversial implantable biochips, DNA microarrays, and for his Guiseppi Prediction (...continued progress in the density of molecular recognition features on biochips will approach single molecule detection - by analogy to Moore's Law). He currently pursues the development of electronic noses, implantable bioanalytical biochips and implantable bio-smart materials for human health applications. His work has resulted in the commercialization of a wide variety of biochip substrates used in BioMEMS devices (Lateral Flow Bioassays and Microfluidic Devices) and his implantable biochip is under commercial development at ABTECH Scientific, Inc.

Dr. Guiseppi-Elie has been named chair-elect (2016) of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows where he was inducted as a fellow in 2006. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) and a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (FIEEE). He is a lifetime member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and holds memberships in the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Chemical Society, the Materials Research Society and the Biomedical Engineering Society.
