About
Donna Grace Karp is a biomedical researcher whose work centers on the development and validation of high-throughput diagnostic technologies, with a particular focus on serological assays for emerging infectious diseases. Her most-cited study, published in 2020, introduced a sensitive and specific method for detecting SARS-CoV-2 antibodies using a fully automated liquid-handling robotic system—a critical contribution during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic when global infections had already surpassed 14.7 million. This work, which has garnered 32 citations, addressed an urgent need for scalable, reliable serological tools to support community screening, infection prevalence assessment, and patient identification. By automating a traditionally labor-intensive process, Karp’s research enhanced both throughput and reproducibility, enabling broader deployment of antibody testing in clinical and public health settings. Her achievements reflect a commitment to bridging engineering and immunology, providing practical solutions for pandemic response. Karp’s contributions continue to inform the design of automated platforms for infectious disease surveillance, underscoring her impact on diagnostic innovation during global health crises.
