About

Dr. Adayabalam S. Balajee is a leading expert in radiation biodosimetry, specializing in the development of high-throughput, automated systems for rapid biological dose assessment after radiological or nuclear incidents. His major contributions center on the RABiT (Rapid Automated Biodosimetry Tool), a dedicated robotic platform that automates cytogenetics-based assays for triage following mass exposure events. Dr. Balajee pioneered an automated imaging system built around a fast sCMOS camera and LED light source, enabling complete automation of imaging steps. He also developed a miniaturized version of the dicentric chromosome assay, a gold-standard biodosimetry tool, making it practical for large-scale triage. His work includes validation studies using complex radiation exposures that simulate nuclear weapon scenarios, moving beyond conventional orthovoltage irradiators. With papers accumulating over 85 citations, Dr. Balajee’s research has been instrumental in transforming biodosimetry from a labor-intensive process to a rapid, automated capability. His achievements have critical implications for national security and public health preparedness, ensuring that thousands of potentially exposed individuals can be quickly and accurately triaged in the event of a radiological emergency.
