Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Samaneh Goorani's research investigates the multifaceted roles of nanoparticles in biological systems and the physiological impacts of environmental contaminants. Her work includes the green synthesis of copper, tin, and silver/chitosan nanoparticles, examining their chemical characterization and evaluating their cytotoxicity, antioxidant properties, and potential in wound healing and managing conditions like heart failure. Goorani also studies the health consequences of microplastic exposure, specifically focusing on reproductive toxicity in male mice. Her research extends to understanding disease mechanisms, such as salt-sensitive hypertension following ureteral obstruction, and exploring therapeutic strategies like multi-target drugs for metabolic diseases. She has published extensively on these topics and collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
