Black Female Physicist is First to Successfully Cure Cancer in Mice Using Laser Technique (Watch)

Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green, an assistant professor at Morehouse School of Medicine in the Physiology Department, has reportedly become the first person to successfully cure cancer in mice using laser-activated nanoparticles.

According to Black Culture News, her revolutionary nanoparticle technology was found to cure cancer after testing on mice within 15 days successfully, and it doesn’t require chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery.

Green received a $1.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to expand her nanoparticle cancer treatment research. She spent more than seven years developing a way to target cancer cells – not the healthy cells around them. Her technology uses an FDA-approved drug containing nanoparticles and injects it into a cancer patient, which then causes the patient’s tumor to glow under imaging equipment. The laser activates the nanoparticles by heating them.

“They are not toxic, so without the laser, they won’t kill anything, and the laser by itself is harmless, so without the particles, it won’t hurt anything,” Dr. Green told AL.com in Alabama. “Because of their need to work together and their inability to work apart, I can ensure that the treatment is only happening to the cancer cells we target and identify.”

While Dr. Green isn’t the first to think of using lasers and nanoparticles to treat cancer, she’s been able to work the bugs out of parts of the technology that have been problematic.
Those bugs include nanoparticle delivery and being able to see success in mice. “As a physicist I’ve created a physical treatment that is not specific to the biology of the cancer,” Dr. Green stated. “It’s a platform technology. It’s not cancer type-specific, though it can treat cancer specifically. That’s a concept my friends who are biologists struggle with.”

Dr. Green talks about her pioneering breakthrough in an interview below with Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas.
