About

Anubha Bhatla is a leading researcher in radiation biodosimetry and high-throughput automation, with a focus on developing rapid, scalable tools for emergency response to radiological or nuclear events. Her most significant contribution is her work on the RABiT (Rapid Automated Biodosimetry Tool), a dedicated robotic platform that automates cytogenetics-based biodosimetry assays. Her seminal paper, “THE DECADE OF THE RABiT (2005–15)” (2016, 28 citations), chronicles the evolution and impact of this system, which was designed to meet the critical need for mass triage following large-scale radiological incidents. Bhatla also co-authored “Design Considerations for a Minimally Invasive High-Throughput Automation System for Radiation Biodosimetry” (2007, 13 citations), which outlines the engineering principles behind a robotic, high-speed image acquisition system that minimizes invasiveness while maximizing throughput. Her work bridges robotics, biology, and public health preparedness, offering a practical solution for rapid dose assessment in crisis scenarios. Bhatla’s contributions have been instrumental in advancing automated biodosimetry, making her a key figure in the field of radiation emergency response and high-throughput biological screening.
