Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry, Tuskegee University, 2010 to Present
Dr. Abdalla received his doctorate in Integrative Biosciences from Tuskegee University. His current research interest of is the development, characterization and biological evaluation of nanomaterials for various biomedical applications with special focus on cancer’s nanomedicine. His area of specialty is development of bio-conjugated nanoparticles for simultaneous imaging and treatment of prostate cancer. Dr. Abdalla work involves design, synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation of solid and porous magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have the potential to be used for important medical applications such as in vivo cancer imaging, multiplexed molecular profiling, correlation of biomolecular signatures (biomarkers) with clinical outcome, early cancer detection, and targeted drug delivery.
Our main research interest is are the development, characterization and biological evaluation of nanomaterials for various biomedical applications with special focus on cancer’s nanomedicine. We are also interested in the development of high temperature polymers specific area of specialty is development of bio-conjugated nanoparticles for simultaneous imaging and treatment of prostate cancer.
