| Creative and Activities: | ||
| * Engaging undergraduate students in research as a new platform for engaged teaching is
an ongoing activity that I maintain in my labs. Honors students and other undergraduate students worked in research projects in my labs and received prestigious awards from our department and regionally for their research accomplishments. Most of them are co-authors in our papers. Some of them are was currently in medical schools or in other graduate schools. * On the graduate front, I continue to supervise the Interdisciplinary Research Club for CSU and CCF graduate students in Chemistry that I founded. This club is sponsored by an Award that I received from the College of A&S (New Faculty Research Award). The Club meets for presentations and research update by students and for students. Graduate students learn how to take an active role in their education process. They also mentor undergraduate students, who are encouraged to participate and get involved in the research culture early in their career. The graduate student in this Club organized an annual graduate interdisciplinary research symposium. The most recent regional interdisciplinary symposium included 9 talks and over 70 papers emphasizing the chemistry/biology interface with participation of various schools in the region. | ||

| Professional Experience: | ||
| I have over twenty-five years of experience in bioanalytical chemistry and applications to molecule-protein interactions and recognition in solution and on modified surfaces to gain insights on structure and function. We also worked on the design of functional nano- and bio-materials such antithobotic coatings for blood-contacting devices and DNA-modified carbon nanotubes for DNA damage sensing. In general, projects in our lab are at the interface of nanotechnology, bioanalytical chemistry, and biological chemistry to study problems relevant to the biomedical field.
Our group has extensive experience in sensor design and development. We also have a strong background in direct and mediated electron transfer coupled to spectroscopic monitoring to study redox proteins and enzymes tethered or immobilized at conductive and non-conductive surfaces and polymeric materials. As PI, I have just completed an NIH grant (NHLBI) in which we explored innovative functional coatings that prevent blood-clotting on the surface of blood-contacting medical devices and implants. In the past, I have been PI and co-PI on several other federally funded grants. I have also served on NIH grant review panel including NHLBI special emphasis panels. I have a proven record in training both undergraduate and graduate students in meritorious research. I have mentored 78 trainees (graduate and undergraduate students and postdocs; this includes current lab members). Of them 52 are undergraduate students who were involved in relatively shorter periods such as capstone research or summer research experience or for longer periods over a few semesters in our Honors or Pre-med tracks (see selected papers below). Some of them were first authors or coauthors in peer-reviewed publications. Of course, all papers (see larger publication list) involve graduate students and postdocs. | ||
