Introduction

Fluorescence-based methods occupy an important position across modern chemical and life-science research. Fluorescent dyes and probes can convert molecular interactions or environmental changes into measurable optical signals, supporting applications that range from chemical sensing to cellular and molecular imaging. [2] The development of fluorescent probes has also contributed to the investigation of biological processes where spatial and temporal information is important.

Research Contributions

Research involving fluorescent dyes may contribute to the development of molecules and analytical strategies capable of generating detectable optical responses. Depending on molecular design and application, fluorescent systems can be used to investigate chemical environments, molecular interactions and biological phenomena. [2] Fluorescent probes are also relevant to biological research because appropriately designed fluorophores can provide information about cellular structures, biochemical events and molecular targets. The field therefore intersects chemistry, analytical science, molecular biology and cell biology. [4]

Francesca Santilli, MD, PhD, is a leading physician-scientist whose work has substantially advanced the understanding of platelet biology, thrombo-inflammation, and cardio-metabolic disease. Her research focuses on mechanisms of platelet activation, interindividual variability in response to low-dose aspirin, and the interplay between inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysfunction. She has led major national and international projects, including studies on oxidative stress regulation in aspirin-treated diabetes, peripheral blood megakaryocyte maturation, and the effects of JAK inhibitors on thrombopoiesis in inflammatory disease. Her work has also contributed key insights into biomarkers—such as proteomic signatures, microRNAs, and extracellular vesicles—for cardiovascular and metabolic risk stratification. Additional research explores megakaryocyte biology, accelerated platelet turnover, and the impact of emerging therapies including GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, and PCSK9 inhibitors. Through extensive collaborations across molecular medicine, proteomics, rheumatology, cardiology, and infectious diseases, she has established interdisciplinary frameworks linking platelet function to diabetes, obesity, MASLD, and vascular disease. With over 160 high-impact publications and leadership roles in several scientific networks, her research continues to inform clinical translation and therapeutic optimization in thrombosis, hemostasis, and metabolic disorders.
