Career edit

Guiducci studied electrical and electronics engineering at University of Bologna and received her Master's degree in 2001. In 2005, she gained a PhD degree in electrical engineering from Department of Electronics, Computer Sciences and Systems (DEIS) at University of Bologna for her work on electronic biosensors and the development of molecular sensors.[3] She joined the Nanobiophysics Laboratory at ParisTech as postdoctoral research fellow in 2005.[4] In 2007, she returned to University of Bologna as research fellow.[5][6]

In 2009, she became a faculty member of the Institute of Bioengineering at the School of Life Sciences at EPFL first as an Assistant Professor, and in 2018, she was promoted as Associate Professor.[1] She is the SwissUp Foundation chair, and the founder and head of Laboratory of Life Sciences Electronics.[7][8][9]

Research edit

Guiducci's research centers on biomolecular analysis based on micro-fluidic systems,[10] and on novel personalized medicine approaches.[8][11] She is specialized in the integration and interfacing of analytic lab-on-a-chip devices that incorporate full-fledged laboratory equipment on a miniature scale.[12] She is developing miniaturized portable devices for DNA-based analytics,[11] high-throughput cytometry[13] and single-cell analysis.[14]
