About
Avishag Laish‐Farkash is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of electrophysiology and occupational radiation safety. Her work centers on developing and validating innovative robotic shielding technologies to protect medical personnel from the cumulative hazards of ionizing radiation during fluoroscopically guided procedures. Her major contributions include the design and clinical testing of a novel robotic radiation shielding device, which she prospectively evaluated in electrophysiologic procedures, demonstrating its efficacy in dramatically reducing operator exposure. In a landmark 2025 study, Laish‐Farkash and her team proved that this robotic system not only lowers radiation doses but also significantly reduces radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks in operators—a critical finding that addresses growing concerns about the long-term health risks faced by interventional cardiologists and electrophysiologists. With her most-cited work already garnering attention (7 citations for her 2023 prospective study and 2 for her 2025 DNA damage paper), Laish‐Farkash is establishing herself as a key voice in procedural safety innovation. Her achievements offer a compelling solution to a persistent occupational hazard, making her research essential reading for clinicians and trainees committed to safer practice in interventional medicine.
