We are using the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique to fabricate polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) nanoscale functionalized surfaces. This cutting-edge approach allows us to develop surfaces with precise control over their chemical and physical properties, opening new avenues for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biosensing.
Our research also focuses on the educational benefits of the POCUS (Point-Of-Care Ultrasound) machine. By integrating POCUS into the curriculum, we aim to enhance the learning experience of pre-med students, providing them with hands-on experience and improving their diagnostic skills. This initiative not only prepares students for clinical practice but also advances their understanding of medical imaging and patient care.
We have two current projects we are conducting in the Public Health area: Longitudinal Surveillance of the Health and Wellbeing of Emerging Adult Populations and Modulators of COVID-19 Transmission Dynamics in Local, National and Global Populations.
The Samuel Research Team is working to enhance the diversity of the STEM research workforce through a variety of programs and initiatives.
We are working towards our institutional goal of being the premier HBCU in the QISE ecosystem.
