About
Dr. Boris A. Karaman is a leading expert in infection control and environmental decontamination, with a focused research program on ultraviolet (UV) light technologies for healthcare settings. His most cited work, a 2019 study comparing the efficacy of multiple UV light decontamination devices in a radiology procedure room, has garnered 25 citations and established a critical benchmark for evaluating rapid disinfection protocols. Dr. Karaman’s major contributions lie in systematically assessing how UV devices perform under real-world clinical conditions, particularly against resilient pathogens like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). His research directly informs hospital infection prevention strategies by identifying which devices achieve meaningful pathogen reduction within short exposure times—a practical necessity for busy procedural areas. Beyond this landmark study, Dr. Karaman continues to advance the science of environmental hygiene, bridging laboratory evaluations with actionable guidance for healthcare facilities. His work has been instrumental in shaping best practices for room decontamination, ultimately helping to reduce healthcare-associated infections. For students and researchers, Dr. Karaman’s research exemplifies how rigorous comparative studies can translate into safer clinical environments.
