Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green What Role Can Educators and Parents Play In Motivating Girls To Become Scientists? Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green
As a scientist, she has conducted research at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center; University of Rochester, Institute of Optics; Alabama A&M University Fiber Optics Laboratory; University of Maryland, Laboratory for Physical Science; The University of Alabama at Birmingham, Center for Optical Sciences and Spectroscopies; and The Comprehensive Cancer Center, School of Medicine Department of Surgery. As a civil servant with the Department of Defense, she obtained a Top Secret security clearance.
She has more than ten years of training and research experience, initially in optics and nanotechnology and subsequently in the applications of nano-bio-photonics to cancer research. During her educational tenure, Hadiyah received the Best Poster Award at the 3rd International Conference from Nanoparticles & Nanomaterials to Nanodevices & Nanosystems in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, and the Platinum Poster Award at the National Science Foundation Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research Conference in Waikoloa, Hawaii.

Dr. Mike Robinson, host of Parent Talk Live spoke with Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green regarding What Role Can Educators and Parents Play To Motivate Girls To Become Scientists?
Hadiyah-Nicole Green completed her B.S. degree in Physics with a concentration in Optics and a minor in Mathematics from Alabama A&M University in 1999. She received her M.S. in Physics with a concentration in Nanobiophotonics in 2009 and her Ph.D. in Physics in 2012 from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), where she developed “A Minimally Invasive Multifunctional Nano-Enabled Approach for Selective Targeting, Imaging, and Near Infrared Photothermal Therapy of Malignant Tumors.” She incorporated a post-doctoral-equivalent apprenticeship into her training as a physics graduate student with the extensive molecular, cellular, and animal research experiences gained in the Head and Neck Cancer Research Program at the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center from 2007 to 2012. In addition, she trained in the Department of Pathology from 2011 to 2012. The result of this work was the development of four patent-pending technologies including a 3-in-1 system for early detection, targeting, and selective treatment of malignant tumors and a nanoparticle-enabled 10-minute laser treatment that induces ~100% tumor regression. She is named the lead inventor on the pending patent application. Dr. Green designed polymers for drug delivery in the Department of Materials Science at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore in 2012. Since 2013, she serves as an Assistant Professor at Tuskegee University in the Department of Physics with adjunct appointments in the Departments of Biological Sciences and Materials Science Engineering. Dr. Green is a multi-disciplinary physicist who specializes in nanobiophotonics and targeted cancer therapeutics, using lasers, nanoparticles, and antibodies to develop biomarker-specific platforms to target, image, and treat malignant tumors including head and neck and prostate cancers. Her research interests include nanoparticle conjugation, biomarker targeting, drug delivery, translational studies and clinical trials. As a student, she received $300,000 in scholarships and fellowships including the National Physical Science Consortium Fellowship, National Science Foundation Bridge to the Doctorate Fellowship, David and Lucille Packard Foundation Fellowship, and AAMU Presidential Scholarship. In addition, she has organized over 100 community service initiatives and served as president of more than 7 organizations. Dr. Green was recently awarded a $1.1 million HBCU-Research Scientist Training Program Career Development Award from the Biomedical Laboratory Research & Development Service of the VA Office of Research and Development. |
