Research Interests
Click on Researcher's name for email contact or see the Staff Contact information.
Dr. Pengju George Luo’s research interests are in the interdisciplinary areas of microbiology and nanotechnology, focusing on the study of the antimicrobial applications and detection of bacterial species via the use of nanomaterials such as nanoparticles and nanotubes.
In addition to his work at Sherman, he also holds an Adjunct
Assistant Professor position in the Department of Biological Science at Clemson
University.
His areas of interest include the following:
- Antimicrobial activity using nanotechnology with carbon nanotubes
- Flourescent imaging using nanomaterials for location and surgery for cancers
- Nutri-ceuticals - including adding more nutrients, increasing self life by eliminating bacteria
- Understanding chiropractic technique and becoming more educated about chiropractic research
Dr. John Hart is also a program committee member for the South Carolina Upstate Research Symposium. His research interests include:
- Reliability of tests for subluxation
- Outcomes research on tests for the neurological interference component of the vertebral subluxation
- Ecological research (i.e., correlation of natural background radiation and cancer mortality)
Dr. Layfayette Briggs's areas of interest include the following:
- Stereoscopic digital imaging for precise x-y-z coordinate mapping for describing spinal alignment
- Measuring sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system by pupil response to spinal adjustments for more effective technique
Dr. Cindy Gibbon's research involves alternative methodology for pattern work.
Dr. Laura Green-Orndorff's research interest is studies that aim to improve the knowledge base and educational programs dealing with radiology.
Dr. Pat Kuhta's areas of interest include the following:
- Spinal biodynamics
- Radiology and Radiography related topics
- Vertebral misalignment/subluxation research
Dr. Kevin Power’s research interests lay in people dealing with high stress jobs, those with potential repetitive stress disorders, e.g. production line, and the area of physical fitness/performance.
Dr. Perry Rush’s research interest is in the study of the atlanto-occipito articulation as it relates to misalignment information in subluxation analysis.
