About
Laetitia Cavellini is a researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of virology, food safety, and molecular diagnostics. Her primary contributions focus on the development and validation of robust methods for detecting viral pathogens, particularly hepatitis A virus (HAV), in environmental and food matrices. Her most-cited work, "Use of a robotic RNA purification protocol based on the NucliSens® easyMAG™ for real-time RT-PCR detection of hepatitis A virus in bottled water" (2009), with 41 citations, exemplifies her impact. This study provided a crucial, standardized protocol for automating RNA extraction, significantly improving the sensitivity and reproducibility of HAV detection in bottled water—a key concern for public health and regulatory compliance. By demonstrating the efficacy of a robotic system for a challenging sample type, Cavellini helped bridge the gap between advanced molecular techniques and practical, high-throughput surveillance. Her work is a cornerstone for laboratories seeking reliable, automated methods to ensure water safety, directly supporting efforts to prevent foodborne viral outbreaks.
