Dr. Summers' research in the area of nuclear magnetic resonance studies of complex bio-systems is at the forefront of biomedical research. Each summer approximately 20 undergraduates work in his laboratory. They are given the same responsibilities as graduate students, completing their own projects and becoming co-authors and first authors in major scientific journals. Dr. Summers also directs the Meyerhoff Graduate Program for high-achieving minority graduate students. The program now includes 26 minority students. To date, more than 100 graduate and undergraduate students' articles have been published by Dr. Summers' mentees. In 1999, nine of Dr. Summers' students, including 7 African Americans, graduated and were admitted to Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. programs at leading universities. The research facility under the direction of Dr. Summers is a national model for producing large numbers of high-achieving African American students in areas of vital importance to the nation. Dr. Summers is presently a member of the faculty of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

萨默斯博士在复杂生物系统的核磁共振研究领域的研究处于生物医学研究的前沿。 每年夏天，大约有20名本科生在他的实验室工作。 他们被赋予与研究生相同的责任，完成自己的项目，并成为主要科学期刊的共同作者和第一作者。萨默斯博士还指导迈耶霍夫研究生计划的高成就的少数民族研究生。 该计划目前包括26名少数民族学生。到目前为止，超过100个研究生和本科生的文章已经发表了博士。 1999年，萨默斯博士的9名学生，包括7名非洲裔美国人，毕业并获得博士学位。或医学博士/博士 顶尖大学的课程。 萨默斯博士的指导下的研究设施是一个国家模式，生产大量的高成就的非洲裔美国学生在国家至关重要的领域。萨默斯博士目前是巴尔的摩县马里兰州大学的教员。
