Maged Henary

Maged Henary is an Assistant Professor at Georgia State University's College of Arts & Sciences, specializing in synthetic organic chemistry with applications in biomedical imaging and cancer therapy.

Research focuses on designing near-infrared fluorophores for medical imaging, developing DNA-targeted anticancer agents, and creating sensors for biological applications. Recent work includes fluorophores for endocrine gland imaging, G-quadruplex DNA binders, and pH-sensitive probes.

Publication trends show strong emphasis on:

• Cyanine/squaraine fluorophore design
• Optoacoustic imaging contrast agents
• Targeted cancer therapeutics
• Metal/pH sensing molecules

Dr. Henary leads an active research laboratory developing novel imaging agents and maintains collaborations with medical institutions for translational applications.
