About

Dr. Veronika Glukhova is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and point-of-care diagnostics, whose work is transforming how lateral flow assays (LFAs)—the technology behind pregnancy tests and infectious disease diagnostics—are developed and optimized. Her major contribution lies in automating the traditionally labor-intensive LFA development process through integrated robotic systems. In her landmark 2022 paper, "Automated liquid handling robot for rapid lateral flow assay development" (22 citations), she demonstrated how robotic precision can dramatically accelerate the creation of these critical diagnostic tools. Her foundational 2019 work, "Integrated Robotic System for the Development Lateral Flow Assays" (8 citations), established the framework by combining design-of-experiment software with robotic liquid handling hardware, enabling systematic optimization that was previously impossible through manual methods. This synergy of robotics and diagnostics addresses a critical bottleneck in bringing affordable, reliable tests to resource-limited settings. Dr. Glukhova’s work represents a paradigm shift in diagnostic development—moving from artisanal, trial-and-error approaches to reproducible, automated workflows that can rapidly respond to emerging health threats, from environmental toxins to pandemic pathogens.
