Lorenzo Lunelli is a researcher at the Center for Sensors & Devices, Fondazione Bruno Kessler. He received a PhD in Physics from the University of Milan in 1993. His scientific interests are focused on the development of biofunctional surfaces for the realization of Lab-on-a-chip systems for genetic analysis and biomarkers detection, on the development of optical biosensors based on label-free and fluorescence methods, and on the study of nano-structured materials. He is also interested in the application of scanning probe microscopies to the study of the structure and function of biological complexes.
