About

Rosemichelle Marzan is a researcher at the forefront of point-of-care diagnostics, specializing in the automation of lateral flow assay (LFA) development. Her work directly addresses a critical bottleneck in global health: making rapid, low-cost diagnostic tests—essential for detecting everything from infectious diseases to environmental toxins—more efficient to design and optimize. Marzan’s major contribution is the creation of integrated robotic systems that automate the labor-intensive process of LFA development. Her most cited paper (2022, 22 citations) introduces an automated liquid handling robot that dramatically accelerates assay prototyping, while her foundational 2019 work (8 citations) combines design-of-experiment software with robotic hardware to streamline optimization. This dual approach—merging software intelligence with precision robotics—has the potential to slash development timelines for critical diagnostics, enabling faster responses to emerging health threats. By pioneering these tools, Marzan is not only advancing diagnostic engineering but also democratizing access to high-quality test development, making it feasible even in resource-limited settings. Her work represents a vital step toward a future where rapid, reliable diagnostics can be deployed more quickly to those who need them most.
