Alice Khalil

Alice Khalil ’27 is a Neuroscience major and Chemistry minor whose research focuses on carbon dots (CDs), including Carbon Nitride dots and Gamma CDs, for detecting cardiac troponin with molecularly imprinted polymers. Passionate about improving diagnostics, she aims to advance early disease detection using nanomaterials. Her next project focuses on magnetic CDs to enhance biomarker detection sensitivity. As both an EMT and future medical student, Alice aspires to become a neurosurgeon while applying nanomaterial diagnostics to combat cardiovascular disease. Her long-term goal is to create accessible, high-precision tools for global healthcare.
