Our research is focused on three main areas: 1) designing novel nitric
oxide (NO)-releasing materials as a strategy to improve the
biocompatibility of in vivo sensors and harness NO's potential as a
broad-spectrum antibiotic; 2) developing new analytical
methodology for
investigating protein adsorption; and 3) designing sensors capable of
real-time detection of NO in diverse environments. The types of
multi-disciplinary research opportunities that are available include
studies of:
