Building a STEM Pipeline
Learn MoreI became very interested in educational research and trying to identify factors that impact student success, especially minority student success - and the nonacademic factors that influence their matriculation.Shonda L. Bernadin
Creating Drugs for Breast Cancer and Pain Management
Learn MoreTriple negative breast cancer has the worst prognosis. It relapses very quickly, more than the other cancers. It has a high frequency of metastasisSeth L. Ablordeppey
Ensuring Food Security from Farm to Fork

Jillian L. Pope, Ph.D., is a FAMU Rattler who was committed to returning to give back. But as a junior faculty member, Pope, an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences in the College of Science and Technology, must balance her love for the classroom with her interests in research, specifically colon cancer.
Growing up in her native Bahamas, the only doctors Natalie Arnett, Ph.D., knew about were physicians. The thought of being an engineering professor and scientific researcher remained foreign until she entered Grambling University to earn a bachelor’s in chemistry.
Professor Tarik J. Dickens, Ph.D., comfortably straddles the twin academic pillars of teaching and research for his students.
