Our research is focused on four main areas: 1) designing macromolecular nitric oxide release vehicles as novel therapeutics; 2) improving the analytical performance of implantable continuous glucose monitoring devices for diabetes management; 3) designing microfluidic nitric oxide (NO) sensors for real-time detection of NO in biological media; and, 4) developing superhydrophobic interfaces for mold prevention and remediation.
In the Schoenfisch Lab, we work at the interface of analytical chemistry, biomedical engineering, and pharmaceutics. The types of multi-disciplinary research opportunities that are available include studies of:
In the Schoenfisch Lab, we work at the interface of analytical chemistry, biomedical engineering, and pharmaceutics. The types of multi-disciplinary research opportunities that are available include studies of:
- Therapeutics to treat various diseases
- Sensors that function reliably and continuously (real time) to facilitate disease management
- Microelectrode and microfluidic sensor design and fabrication for clinical, point-of-care, and diagnostic/prognostic applications
- New macromolecular scaffolds that manipulate biology and physiology
