[9] He has multiple collaborations from research labs across the U.S.[10] In 2021, Palmer received the Gaden Award from the Biotechnology & Bioengineering (journal) in recognition for a truly outstanding paper.

"[13] In 2008, Palmer received the Lloyd Noel Ferguson Young Scientist award from the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCHE).

Their design strategy focus on increasing the molecular diameter of HBOCs so they're unable to traverse across blood vessel walls into the tissue space and limit negative side-effects.

Supporting Publications: Palmer's lab demonstrated that human serum albumin (PolyHSA) is able to resuscitate animals from hemorrhagic shock, endotoxemia, sepsis, and ischemia reperfusion injury.

Supporting Publications: Palmer has published over 150 peer-reviewed articles in Neuron, Transfusion Medicine, Public Library of Science, Annual Review Biomed Eng, Langmuir, Lab On A Chip, Shock, Experimental Hematology, Journal of Clinical Investigation, Science Reports, and Journal of Applied Physiology.
