Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Samaneh Goorani's research investigates the physiological impacts of environmental factors and medical conditions, with a particular focus on hypertension and the effects of microplastics. Her work includes studies on salt-sensitive hypertension following unilateral ureteral obstruction in animal models, and the reproductive toxicity of polystyrene microplastics in male mice. Goorani also explores the potential therapeutic applications of nanoparticles, investigating the antioxidant and cytotoxic properties of copper and tin nanoparticles synthesized using medicinal plants, as well as silver/chitosan nanoparticles for heart failure treatment in rats. She has published extensively on these topics, with a h-index of 14 and over 1,000 citations. Her collaborations at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences include extensive work with John D. Imig, Abdul H. Khan, Abhishek Mishra, and Henry A. Palfrey.
