Patrick Wagner received a Ph.D. in physics in 1994 at TU Darmstadt (Germany) and was a postdoctoral researcher at KU Leuven (Belgium) until 2001 when he was appointed as a professor for biophysics at Hasselt University. In 2014, he returned to KU Leuven as a Full Professor of bio-functional surfaces and sensors. He has received several grants and distinctions, including a Marie-Curie Fellowship of the European Union and a Methusalem Fellowship of the Flemish Government. Regarding novel biosensing technologies, he is one of the inventors of the label-free heat-transfer method HTM with a wide variety of bioanalytical applications such as DNA-mutation analysis and cell identification.
