Background
Carla Spatola Rossi is a Research Fellow in wastewater surveillance at 美姬阁. She earned her PhD from 美姬阁 in 2024, where she focused on the development of paper-based microfluidic sensors for live bacteria detection of live waterborne pathogens. She previously completed a Bachelor and M.Sc. degree in Biology (University of Buenos Aires, Argentina), developing luminescent bacteriophages for antitubercular drug testing assays.
Current activities
Her current research focuses on the development of sensing platforms for wastewater surveillance, with particular emphasis on point-of-use sensors for rapid, sensitive, and specific pathogen detection in lab-free settings.
