Kate J. F. Carnevale, Ph.D. joined the faculty of Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, Graduate Medical Sciences, Department of Pharmacology, Physiology & Biophysics in September of 2024, where she teaches physiology and related medical science topics to Graduate, Dental, and Medical students. Dr. Carnevale’s scholarly research interests include academic, societal, and basic science topics, such as: student study skills for academic success; faculty and student wellness; implementation of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in higher education such as pipeline and mentoring programs; health disparities and healthcare advocacy in vulnerable populations; and cellular therapeutics for personalized medicine utilizing nanoparticle-bioconjugated delivery platforms.

Dr. Carnevale earned her dual B.S. degrees in Chemistry and Biology from the University of North Florida (UNF) in 2012, while working as a Certified Pharmacy Technician, and as a Research Assistant on natural product antibiotic properties with Amy Lane, Ph.D. At UNF she was awarded Outstanding Student in Chemistry. Dr. Carnevale went on to earn her M.S. (2015) and Ph.D. (2018) degrees in Biochemistry from Florida State University (FSU), while working as a Graduate Research and Teaching Assistant on bio-functionalizing nanoparticles for biomedical therapy and imaging applications with Geoffrey Strouse, Ph.D. At FSU she was awarded a fellowship in the Program for Instructional Excellence as well as the Joseph M. Schor fellowship in Biochemistry. Dr. Carnevale then joined the faculty of Nova Southeastern University (NSU) as an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Medical Education in the Fall of 2018, teaching medical sciences to undergraduate Nutrition students, Master’s students, and Dental and Medical Doctoral students. As well as mentoring students in various wet lab and literature research projects. At NSU she was awarded a President’s Faculty Research and Development Grant FY20 to continue her work on genetically engineering mesenchymal stem cells using peptide functionalized nanoparticles for cellular therapy, and the NSU MD Health Equity & Social Justice Community Engagement Grant to study “Community Needs Assessment for Healthcare Advocacy Training in Foster Care” with collaborator, Melissa Armas, Ph.D., as well as being nominated for the Excellence in Diversity award for her work with several pipeline and community outreach programs.

Dr. Carnevale plans to continue this important work, as well as establishing new scholarly and academic collaborations in her new position at Boston University.
