Nadia Sial, MD

Nadia has conducted a survey of the community to characterize factors related to COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy among the general public and to gauge the perspectives of healthcare workers on end-of-life care with respect to COVID-19. She also worked on conceptualizing a novel way to explore how specific subsets of neurons activated by pain communicate spatially and temporally to drive pain transmission and pain-dependent behaviors. She was lead volunteer for PROPEL, a non-profit organization that supports leadership development and post-secondary planning for high-risk and low-income middle- and high-school students from Title I schools. She also volunteered with HCOP, a community outreach program designed to provide disadvantaged students with opportunities to learn about careers in healthcare. She enjoys astronomy, amateur astrophotography, coffee, baking, live comedy, and spending time with friends, family, and her cat.
