About

Yanping Xu is a leading researcher in radiation biodosimetry, specializing in the development of high-throughput automated systems for radiological triage. Her most significant contribution is the creation of the Rapid Automated Biodosimetry Tool (RABiT), a robotically-based workstation designed to rapidly assess radiation exposure in large populations following nuclear or radiological events. Her seminal 2010 paper on the RABiT system has garnered 118 citations, establishing it as a foundational work in the field. Xu's research focuses on automating standard biodosimetric assays, particularly the γ-H2AX assay for detecting DNA double-strand breaks, which she adapted for fully automated processing in human lymphocytes. Her work addresses the critical need for high-throughput biodosimetry methods that can process thousands of samples quickly for effective medical triage. Through her publications, including the 2010 paper on adapting the γ-H2AX assay (77 citations) and subsequent technological developments (58 citations), Xu has demonstrated that complete automation of radiation biodosimetry is achievable, significantly advancing emergency preparedness for large-scale radiological events.
