About
Sanjana Bhatnagar is a pioneering researcher in the field of automated microinjection and transgenic model organism engineering, with a primary focus on advancing *Caenorhabditis elegans* as a high-throughput platform for biological discovery. Her landmark 2024 study, “Robotic microinjection enables large-scale transgenic studies of *Caenorhabditis elegans*,” has already garnered 20 citations, underscoring its immediate impact. In this work, Bhatnagar addressed a critical bottleneck in nematode research: the slow, labor-intensive nature of manual microinjection. By developing a robotic system capable of precise, automated DNA delivery, she dramatically increased the throughput and reproducibility of generating transgenic *C. elegans*, enabling large-scale studies that were previously impractical. This innovation opens new avenues for functional genomics, drug screening, and the systematic investigation of gene function. Bhatnagar’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging engineering and biology, providing a scalable tool that empowers the broader research community. Her work stands as a testament to the power of interdisciplinary approaches in overcoming fundamental experimental limitations.
