About

Dr. Lamberto Felli is a materials scientist and engineer whose research centers on the development and application of nanostructured surfaces, particularly anodic porous alumina, for advanced bioanalytical platforms. His most cited work, "Analysis of gene expression on anodic porous alumina microarrays" (2013, 8 citations), demonstrates a key contribution: the integration of precisely engineered nanoporous substrates with microarray technology. By optimizing an electrolytic process to create a regular distribution of deep micrometric holes and employing pen-robot printing, Felli’s team enabled more efficient and reproducible gene expression analysis on a chip-laboratory format. This work bridges materials engineering and molecular biology, offering a robust alternative to traditional glass or polymer microarrays. While his citation count reflects a focused, early-career impact, the innovation lies in the methodological advance—using controlled porosity to enhance probe immobilization and signal detection. Felli’s achievements highlight the potential of anodic alumina as a versatile scaffold for biosensing, with implications for diagnostics and personalized medicine. His research continues to explore the intersection of surface chemistry, nanofabrication, and biomedical applications, positioning him as a contributor to the next generation of lab-on-a-chip devices.
