Roger M. Leblanc is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Miami's College of Arts and Sciences. His research spans interdisciplinary domains at the interface of chemistry, nanotechnology, and biomedical applications. Key areas include carbon dots for drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier, Alzheimer's disease treatment, and oncology.
Research highlights include:
- Developing glucose-functionalized carbon dots for rapid spinal/supraspinal connectome mapping
- Investigating thiolated carbon dots for SARS-CoV-2 inhibition and anti-inflammatory effects
- Optimizing redox-responsive drug delivery systems using albumin-hitchhiking nanocarriers
- Creating dual tau/Aβ aggregation inhibitors for Alzheimer's therapy
Recent publications reveal his group's focus on:
- Carbon dots in photodynamic therapy for cancer and fungal infections
- Micellization behavior in mixed solvent systems with surfactant-dye interactions
- Combustion enhancement through gel-like carbon dots in liquid fuels
His work employs advanced characterization techniques including UV-vis spectroscopy, TEM, XPS, and AFM to engineer nanomaterials with precise biomedical and energy applications. The lab also explores 2D/3D printing, photocatalysis, and hybrid rocket fuels using carbon dots.
