Hadiyah Nicole Green: Transforming Cancer Treatment

Hi All, Welcom to the physicist of the week. Today we will be highlighting Hadiyah

Nicole Green, an inspiring physicist whose groundbreaking work is transforming cancer treatment.

After losing her aunt to cancer and watching her uncle suffer through chemotherapy and radiation,

Green devoted her career to finding a better way to fight the disease. She became the first

person in her family to attend college and ultimately earned her PhD in physics. Today,

she is known for pioneering a laser-activated nanoparticle therapy that can target and destroy cancer

cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. Despite being orphaned at a young age, Green’s determination

and resilience carried her into the forefront of medical physics. Her story highlights not only scientific
