About
S.E. Wildsmith is a pioneering figure in the early development and critical evaluation of microarray technology. Her landmark review, "Microarrays under the microscope" (2001), which has garnered 54 citations, served as an essential guide for researchers navigating the rapidly expanding field of functional genomics. In this work, Wildsmith provided a rigorous, balanced assessment of the promises and pitfalls of microarrays, from drug target identification to predictive toxicology, at a time when the technology was gaining widespread adoption. Her contribution was not merely a summary but a call for methodological rigor, helping to shape best practices in experimental design and data interpretation. By demystifying a complex and fast-moving area, Wildsmith empowered a generation of biologists and bioinformaticians to apply microarrays more effectively. Her work remains a foundational reference for anyone studying the history and technical challenges of high-throughput gene expression analysis, underscoring her role as a critical thinker who helped ensure the technology's long-term credibility and impact.
