Gianfranco Donelli obtained his master degree in Biological Sciences from the Sapienza University of Rome in 1966. From 1967 onwards he worked as researcher at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS - Italian National Institute of Health) in Rome in the field of molecular biology and ultrastructure of bacteriophages and human intestinal viruses. In 1975 he was appointed Director of the Electron Microscopy Unit and in 1979 he became the Research Director in molecular biology. In 1982 he founded the Laboratory of Ultrastructures of ISS that has been led by him till 1996. In those years his main research interests covered many aspects of cellular microbiology with special reference to the mechanism of action and the pathogenetic role of toxins and other bacterial virulence factors. He has been invited since 1977 to serve as visiting professor in the Universities of Ancona, Naples, Perugia, Rome and Urbino and in 1999, he was habilitated as full Professor of Microbiology.

Regarding his scientific assignments, 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 (2002-2022); President of the Society for Microbial Ecology and Disease (2006-2009), Vice-Chairperson of the Executive Committee of ESCMID Study Group for Biofilms (2009-2013) and Director of the Microbial Biofilm Laboratory at the Fondazione Santa Lucia research hospital in Rome (2000-2022). In the last two decades, his 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 in the list of the Top Italian Scientists in Biomedical Sciences as author of over 210 full-length papers published in international journals (H-index = 60) with more than 13350 citations, and editor of a number of books.

Gianfranco Donelli於1966年在羅馬薩賓納大學獲得生物科學碩士學位。自1967年起，他在羅馬的意大利國家衛生研究所（Istituto Superiore di Sanità, ISS）擔任研究員，專注於細菌病毒和人類腸道病毒的分子生物學及超微結構。1975年，他被任命為電子顯微鏡單位主任，1979年成為分子生物學研究主任。1982年，他創立了ISS的超微結構實驗室，並一直領導該實驗室至1996年。在這些年中，他的主要研究興趣涵蓋了細胞微生物學的多個方面，特別是毒素及其他細菌致病因子的作用機制和致病角色。自1977年以來，他受邀在安科納、那不勒斯、佩魯賈、羅馬和烏爾比諾的多所大學擔任客座教授，並於1999年獲得微生物學正教授資格。

關於他的科學任務，Donelli教授曾擔任ISS傳染病研究項目協調員（1991-1995）；意大利國家研究委員會生物醫學科學諮詢委員會副主席（1994-1999）；意大利微生物學會國際事務官及FEMS代表（2002-2022）；微生物生態與疾病學會會長（2006-2009）；ESCMID生物膜研究小組執行委員會副主席（2009-2013）；以及羅馬聖露西亞基金會研究醫院微生物生物膜實驗室主任（2000-2022）。在過去的二十年中，他的研究活動主要集中在基於生物膜的醫療相關感染及預防和對抗人體內微生物生物膜發展的可能策略。

Donelli教授在生物醫學科學領域的意大利頂尖科學家名單中，作為國際期刊上發表超過210篇完整論文的作者（H-index = 60），引用次數超過13350次，並擔任多本書籍的編輯。
