معرفی
Nadine Kabbani is an Associate Professor and Associate Chair for Research in the Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience at George Mason University. She holds research faculty appointments in the School of Systems Biology and Neuroscience Program, with affiliations at the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study, Schar School of Policy and Government, and Institute for Biohealth Innovation.
Research Interests: Dr. Kabbani investigates nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) signaling, particularly their non-canonical G protein-coupled pathways. Her work spans molecular neuroscience, neuroimmunology, and translational science, focusing on nicotine and cannabinoid effects on microglia, neuropathic pain, and fentanyl toxicity. She develops AI tools for immune cell imaging analysis.
Public Health and Policy: She explores the intersection of tobacco use, addiction, and environmental exposures in public health via the Schar School. Her proteomic studies integrate mass spectrometry and computational modeling to map molecular signatures of drug exposure.
Selected Publications highlight her leadership in α7 nAChR research, including metabotropic signaling, neuroimmune interactions, and innovative methodologies like protein painting mass spectrometry. Her collaborations bridge neuroscience, toxicology, and policy.
