About
Sabina Herrera’s research focuses on the intersection of advanced robotics and infection control in healthcare, with a particular emphasis on surgical and critical care environments. Her most impactful work demonstrates the feasibility and efficacy of autonomous UV-C disinfection robots for terminal cleaning in operating theaters and intensive care units, as shown in her 2024 study on the ASSUM robot. This work addresses a critical need for reducing hospital-acquired infections through automated, programmable sterilization. Additionally, Herrera has investigated the impact of robotic-assisted kidney transplantation on post-transplant infections, comparing outcomes in a case–control study published in 2023. Her contributions are notable for integrating robotic technology directly into clinical infection prevention protocols, with her top-cited papers accumulating 4 and 3 citations respectively, reflecting emerging interest in her innovative approach. Herrera’s research is particularly relevant for healthcare professionals and biomedical engineers seeking to leverage robotics for safer hospital environments.
