About
Preety Sharma is a leading researcher in radiation biodosimetry and high-throughput biological dosimetry, with a primary focus on the development and application of the Rapid Automated Biodosimetry Tool (RABiT). Her major contributions center on automating cytogenetics-based assays to enable rapid triage following large-scale radiological or nuclear events—a critical capability for emergency preparedness. Her 2014 paper, "The RABiT: high-throughput technology for assessing global DSB repair," has garnered 43 citations, while her comprehensive 2016 review, "THE DECADE OF THE RABiT (2005–15)," which details the platform’s evolution from concept to operational tool, has 28 citations. These works have helped establish the RABiT as a gold standard for automated biodosimetry, significantly reducing processing time from days to hours. Sharma’s research bridges engineering, biology, and public health, making her a key figure in radiation response. Her achievements include advancing the RABiT from a prototype to a validated system, with ongoing work to expand its capabilities for assessing DNA double-strand break repair globally.
