(April 14, 2015) According
to Chetan Jinadatha, M.D., M.P.H., assistant professor at the Texas A&M
Health Science Center College of Medicine and chief of infectious diseases at
the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System in Temple, that is indeed the

While it may sound more like science fiction than real life,
Jinadatha’s research that looks at the effectiveness of a germ-zapping robot to
help clean hospital rooms could hold the key to preventing the spread of
“superbugs” – in turn, saving countless dollars and, most importantly, lives.
