Hammed O. Faleke is a doctoral researcher in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Texas Tech University, where his work bridges nanotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and protein engineering. His research focuses on developing functionalized carbon dot nanoparticles for early disease detection, fluorescence-based sensing of oxidative stress, and advanced biophysical studies of viral and cellular proteins. He combines techniques in spectroscopy, bioimaging, molecular biology, and Drosophila genetics to understand how biochemical changes lead to neurodegeneration and other disease processes.
Hammed has authored multiple peer-reviewed publications across biochemistry, toxicology, nanobiotechnology, and molecular medicine. His work has attracted citations from researchers worldwide and has contributed to growing interest in carbon dot-based diagnostic platforms. He has also reviewed manuscripts for several journals, supporting high scientific standards in his field.
His academic accomplishments have been recognized through competitive awards, including a travel grant from the Electrochemical Society, membership in the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, and selection for Sigma Xi. He has presented his research at national conferences and actively participates in professional scientific communities.
Hammed brings deep technical expertise, strong analytical judgment, and a commitment to scientific integrity to his role on the editorial board. His broad interdisciplinary background allows him to evaluate manuscripts with clarity, fairness, and a focus on advancing impactful research.
