About
Tanya Laird is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and microbiology, whose work is revolutionizing the surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Her primary research area focuses on developing high-throughput, automated solutions to address the critical scalability constraints in One Health AMR monitoring. Laird’s major contribution is the creation of the Robotic Antimicrobial Susceptibility Platform (RASP), a next-generation system that dramatically increases the capacity for processing samples from humans, animals, and the environment. This innovation enables more comprehensive and timely data collection, which is essential for tracking and mitigating the spread of drug-resistant pathogens. Her most-cited paper on RASP has garnered 24 citations, underscoring its significance in the field. Laird’s work is notable for bridging engineering and public health, offering a practical tool that enhances global surveillance networks. By automating labor-intensive processes, she is paving the way for larger-scale studies that can inform policy and intervention strategies, making her a key figure in the fight against one of the most pressing health threats of our time.
