About the editor
In the last two decades Professor Donelli has been appointed Coordinator of the Infectious Diseases Research Project of ISS (1991-1995); Vice-President of the Advisory Committee for Biological and Medical Sciences of the Italian National Research Council (1994 - 1999); International Affairs Officer of the Italian Society of Microbiology and FEMS delegate (2002 - today); President of the Society for Microbial Ecology and Disease (2006 - 2009) and Vice-Chairperson of the Executive Committee of ESCMID Study Group for Biofilms (2009 - 2013). His recent research activity has been mainly focused on biofilm-based healthcare-associated infections and the possible strategies to prevent and counteract the development of microbial biofilms in the human body. Professor Donelli is the author of over 200 full-length papers published in international journals (H-index = 38) and editor of multiple books. Since 2010 he is the Director of the Microbial Biofilm Laboratory at the Fondazione Santa Lucia research hospital in Rome.
