Piet Bergveld - 40 years of ISFET technology: from neuronal sensing to DNA sequencing

This article presents a personal account of the life and scientifi c journey of Professor Piet Bergveld, the inventor and founding father of the Ion-Sensitive Field Effect Transistor (ISFET). The interview gives a unique overview of how ISFET technology has evolved over the years, and the challenges faced during the development from its initial use in neuronal sensing to the technology we see today, which has huge potential in the current era of genetic technology.
