Adam Heller

Adam Heller UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; RESEARCH PROFESSOR/PROFESSOR EMERITUS

Born â&#x20AC;&#x201C; June 25, 1933: Electrochemist From lithium batteries to photoelectrochemistry, to biomedical engineering, Adam Heller has immensely contributed to electrochemical engineering and the science of electrochemistry. He co-invented the painless blood glucose monitor, conceived the electrical wiring of redox enzymes and applied these in continuous monitoring of glucose in diabetic people. His wired glucose oxidase forms the core of the most advanced continuous glucose monitoring system for diabetes management. His work on healthcare-related electrochemical products had enormous societal and economic impact.
