Research summary

Siavash Shahbazi Nia works in chemistry with a focus on drug discovery and chemical synthesis, particularly designing and testing molecules that act on opioid receptors, that fight bacterial biofilms (protective communities of bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus that resist antibiotics), and that may affect cancer cell growth. This research combines organic chemistry synthesis with biological testing to evaluate new compounds as potential treatments for pain, opioid dependence, drug-resistant infections, and certain cancers.
