OverviewAI-generated summary
Zeid A. Nima's research focuses on the application of nanomaterials in biological and medical contexts, particularly in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. His work investigates the use of nanoparticles, such as gold nanorods and carbon nanotubes, for targeted drug delivery and enhanced imaging techniques like surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS).
His publications detail the development of functionalized silver-gold nanorods for circulating tumor cell identification, demonstrating multicolor, super-enhanced SERS and photothermal resonances. Nima has also explored the role of single-walled carbon nanotubes and graphene in delivering gambogic acid to cancer cells, noting increased cytotoxicity in breast and pancreatic cancer lines. Further research includes the investigation of EpCAM-directed nanodrug systems for triple-negative breast cancer targeting and killing, as well as the assessment of graphene's surface chemistry in relation to cytotoxicity.
Beyond cancer applications, Nima's research extends to the environmental impact of nanomaterials, with studies examining the effects of long-term carbon nanotube exposure on agricultural crops. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 28, with 59 publications and 2,164 citations.
