About
Eric Schillinger is a pioneer in the high-throughput synthesis and optimization of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), with a primary focus on creating water-compatible sorbents for environmental and biomedical applications. His major contribution lies in developing a miniaturized, robot-assisted synthesis technique—termed mini-MIPs—that enables rapid screening of polymer formulations at reduced scale. This innovation, detailed in his most-cited work (258 citations), allows researchers to efficiently optimize MIPs for use in pure aqueous environments, overcoming a longstanding challenge in the field. Schillinger’s approach integrates experimental design with liquid-handling robotics, dramatically accelerating the discovery of selective binding materials. His notable achievement includes applying this method to the optimization of MIPs for 17β-Estradiol, a critical endocrine disruptor, though this work has garnered fewer citations (6). By bridging synthetic chemistry and automation, Schillinger has provided a powerful toolkit for developing robust, water-compatible sensors and separation media, impacting fields from environmental monitoring to drug delivery. His work remains a foundational reference for researchers seeking to streamline MIP development through combinatorial and high-throughput strategies.
