About
Dr. Lena Landaverde is a clinical laboratory scientist and public health researcher whose work focuses on high-throughput diagnostic testing and pandemic response infrastructure. Her major contributions center on the rapid design, buildout, and integration of automated Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified laboratories for large-scale SARS-CoV-2 testing. In her most cited work (2022, 19 citations), she details the end-to-end process of establishing a fully automated, high-throughput CLIA lab on a large urban campus during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, addressing critical challenges in testing capacity, workflow automation, and biosafety. Her follow-up paper (2021, 6 citations) provides an even more granular overview of the laboratory’s technical specifications and operational integration. These contributions were instrumental in enabling sustained, campus-wide surveillance testing that helped mitigate outbreaks and protect vulnerable populations. Dr. Landaverde’s work exemplifies the vital intersection of clinical laboratory science, engineering, and public health emergency preparedness, offering a replicable model for future pandemic response. Her achievements highlight the importance of agile, automated diagnostic infrastructure in safeguarding community health during global crises.
