About
Ilaria Mannelli is a leading figure in the development of advanced biosensing platforms, with a primary focus on surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) and DNA microarray technologies. Her seminal work on DNA immobilisation procedures for SPRI-based systems, published in 2006 and garnering 45 citations, established foundational protocols that enabled high-throughput, label-free detection of biomolecular interactions. This contribution significantly enhanced the sensitivity and reproducibility of SPRI arrays, paving the way for applications in genomics, diagnostics, and drug discovery. Mannelli’s research bridges surface chemistry, optics, and molecular biology, optimizing the functionalization of sensor surfaces to improve signal fidelity and multiplexing capabilities. Her impact is evident in the continued reliance on her immobilization strategies by labs developing next-generation biosensors. Beyond this core work, she has contributed to the broader field of nanobiotechnology, exploring novel materials for enhanced plasmonic sensing. For students and researchers, Mannelli’s work exemplifies how precise surface engineering can unlock the full potential of optical biosensors, offering a robust toolkit for real-time, sensitive analysis of DNA and protein interactions.
