About

Kanav Khosla is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, machine vision, and developmental biology, whose work is transforming the labor-intensive field of microinjection. His primary research focuses on developing fully automated, high-throughput robotic systems for manipulating multicellular organisms, with a particular emphasis on zebrafish embryos. Khosla’s major contribution is the creation of a machine-vision guided embryonic microinjection robot, detailed in his most-cited 2024 paper (22 citations), which replaces the specialized manual skill traditionally required for transgenesis, mutagenesis, and cryopreservation. By integrating multiscale, multi-perspective imaging, his 2021 work (4 citations) enables precise 3D biological structure targeting, while his 2023 study (3 citations) demonstrates a fully autonomous system that eliminates rate-limiting preparatory steps. Khosla’s innovations directly address a critical bottleneck in biology, making microinjection accessible, reproducible, and scalable for applications from cell labeling to in vitro fertilization. His 2022 platform (2 citations) specifically targets cryopreservation, a vital tool for genetic resource banking. Through these achievements, Khosla is not only advancing robotic automation but also democratizing complex biological techniques, empowering researchers to focus on discovery rather than tedious manual procedures.
