James Seckler Ph.D.
Research Scientist
Email: jms92@case.edu
I received my PhD in biophysics from Case Western Reserve University. My current research involves the detection of small molecule S-nitrosothiols (SNOs) and studying their role in various disease models including sepsis/septic shock and opioid addiction. I am working with Dr. Stephen Lewis to develop a novel class of thiol ester compounds as a drug to prevent opioid induced respiratory depression and dependence without affecting analgesia.
