The Samuel Research Team is currently engaged in three biomedical research projects, wherein they use the
layer by layer
(LbL) technique to fabricate polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) nanoscale functionalized surfaces. They are currently exploring three applications: (1)
the use of carbonic anhydrase (CA) for removal of CO2 from industrial fumes, (2) the interaction of
induced pluripotential stem cells
(iPSCs) on protamine sulfate PEMs, and (3) controlled
delivery of plasmid DNA.
