About
Karinna Pe is a pioneering researcher in the field of automated microinjection and genetic engineering, with a primary focus on advancing high-throughput transgenic studies using the nematode *Caenorhabditis elegans*. Her most notable contribution is the development of robotic microinjection technology, which addresses a critical bottleneck in *C. elegans* research. Traditionally, generating transgenic worms required labor-intensive manual injection, severely limiting the scale of experiments. Pe’s work, detailed in her highly cited 2024 paper "Robotic microinjection enables large-scale transgenic studies of *Caenorhabditis elegans*" (20 citations), introduces an automated system that dramatically increases throughput and reproducibility. This innovation opens the door for large-scale genetic screens and functional genomics studies that were previously impractical. By overcoming a fundamental technical barrier, Pe’s research empowers the scientific community to explore complex biological mechanisms—from neurobiology to development—with unprecedented efficiency. Her work stands as a landmark achievement in model organism research, promising to accelerate discoveries in basic biology and disease modeling.
