Dr. Hadi T. Nia (BME, MSE) received his PhD from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2013 under the supervision of Drs Alan Grodzinsky and Christine Ortiz. He completed his Postdoctoral training as a NIH NCI Ruth L. Kirschstein Postdoctoral Fellow and at the Department of Radiation Oncology, Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital under the supervision of Dr. Rakesh Jain. Currently, the overall research goal in Nia Laboratory is to combine the principles of engineering and physical sciences with molecular biology and oncology to answer key questions in cancer research, discover new vulnerabilities of cancer cells, and propose novel treatment strategies in the fight against cancer. The overall question of our interest is how the abnormal physical microenvironment of tumors affects development, progression and treatment in cancer.
