He also co-founded the institution's Society for Black Biomedical Scientists.
"I want to build a bridge for black students who want to be a consultant, venture capitalist, or pursue other opportunities that are inside the biotech sphere," the reality star explained.
Regarding his diversity initiatives, he told Carolina Graduate School Magazine: "Everybody deserves a shot, no matter your skin color or background.
"We live in a world where now, everyone has more access, and there might be younger generations who know that they can become a scientist because of the space you take up now as a researcher and through volunteer work."

How far does Xavier get in The Bachelorette season 20?
At the beginning of the 20th season, Bachelor Nation sleuths think Xavier will make the show's top four.
In fact, Xavier made it to the top three before being eliminated during fantasy suites week in Fiji.
During a dinner, Xavier revealed he had been unfaithful in his past relationships.
As Charity had been cheated on before, this triggered her resulting in her decision to eliminate Xavier.
In a confessional, Charity said she was willing to hear him out after admitting his past mistakes.
Charity said: "Xavier dropped a huge bomb. I've experienced infidelity on and off for about six years and it literally breaks you.
"There's nothing worse in this world than betrayal with the person you love. How I feel about Xavier, I want it to be a forever thing. I feel like I owe it to us to hear him out."
Upon hearing Xavier out, he dropped a bomb admitting he wasn't sure he could be the man Charity is expecting him to be.
In this awkward exchange, Xavier said: "In my heart, there’s no f**king doubt.
"But in my mind, there is that doubt. And for me to get to that point, it has to happen tonight."
Charity was extremely upset by his answer and stormed out, later eliminating the North Carolina native.
