About
Maura Monahan is a leading figure in clinical laboratory science and pandemic response infrastructure, with a focused expertise in the rapid deployment of high-throughput diagnostic systems. Her most impactful work centers on the buildout and integration of automated CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) laboratories, specifically designed for large-scale SARS-CoV-2 testing on dense urban campuses. Monahan’s major contribution lies in providing a detailed, operational blueprint for transforming a conventional research or clinical space into a high-capacity, regulatory-compliant testing facility under extreme time pressure. Her seminal paper on this subject has garnered 19 citations, serving as a critical resource for institutions worldwide seeking to replicate her team’s success. A subsequent, more granular overview (6 citations) further solidifies her role as a key architect of agile pandemic response. By documenting the logistical, technical, and regulatory hurdles overcome—from instrument integration to workflow automation—Monahan has not only enabled the safe reopening of a major university but has also established a replicable model for future public health emergencies. Her work is an essential case study in operationalizing cutting-edge diagnostics for population-level screening.
