About
Alec Truswell is an emerging researcher at the forefront of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance, with a particular focus on developing innovative, high-throughput technological solutions to address one of modern medicine's most pressing challenges. His most significant contribution is the development of the Robotic Antimicrobial Susceptibility Platform (RASP), a groundbreaking system designed to overcome the critical scalability limitations that have long constrained traditional AMR surveillance programs. This work, which has garnered nearly 30 citations since its 2021 publication, represents a paradigm shift in how researchers can monitor resistance patterns across human, animal, and environmental contexts — a One Health approach. Truswell has applied RASP to diverse and consequential problems, including detecting the transnational spread of fluoroquinolone-resistant *Escherichia coli* into poultry populations and identifying critically important antimicrobial resistance in healthy companion dogs. These studies demonstrate that affordable, robotic surveillance can expose public health risks that conventional small-sample methodologies routinely miss. His work sits at a vital intersection of veterinary science, public health, and laboratory automation, positioning him as an innovative voice in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance.
