Sinnott studied the importance of Levamisole-induced vasculitis.

In 2021, Sinnott was a research physician on the team that created a novel, patented 3D-printed swab for COVID-19 diagnosis. The team, led by Summer Decker PhD, successfully conducted a multi-site national clinical trial at Tampa General Hospital within a span of two weeks, a process that typically takes years, and produced swabs that cost approximately $0.25 each to produce. The swabs were donated to humanity for the first year of production. As of August 2022, over 100 million of these devices have been used in more than 60 countries. In 2022, this creation was recognized with the prestigious Patents for Humanity award from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
