Navamoney Arulsamy

Navamoney Arulsamy is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wyoming. Their work focuses on the chemical reactivity of nitric oxide (NO) and its redox partner nitroxyl (HNO), particularly in contexts such as neurotransmission, tumor cytostasis, platelet aggregation, and neurodegenerative diseases.
