Rami Al-Horani

Rami Al-Horani is a Senior Professor at Xavier University of Louisiana. His research integrates pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, and drug discovery, with a specific focus on enzyme inhibition and the development of novel therapeutic agents. His latest work centers on designing safer anticoagulant candidates, including structure-activity relationship studies of 5-amino-triazole-based Factor XIIa inhibitors and the development of non-saccharide heparin mimetics as inhibitors of cathepsin G. He also investigates cancer metabolism and the role of heparin mimetics in breast cancer, while contributing to chemical education through environmental justice perspectives. His recent publications appear in venues such as *Acta Crystallographica Section E*, *Medicinal Chemistry*, and *Biomolecules*.
