Noah Harrahill

PhD

Noah was born and raised in the very small town of Saint Paul, Nebraska, where he graduated high school in 2017. He went on to study at Creighton University where he graduated magna cum laude with a double major in Biochemistry and German Studies and a minor in Classics. While at Creighton, Noah engaged in a variety of research projects, but after working as a TA in organic chemistry and taking courses in medicinal chemistry, he realized his interest in the how interactions at the atomic level can impact human health. In his junior year, Noah joined a lab studying the antinociceptive effects of combination treatments with opioids in mice, where his passion for pharmaceutical sciences was solidified. Upon graduation in 2021, Noah joined the Hadden lab, where he completed his PhD in 2026. He is currently continuing his work in the Hadden Lab as a postdoctoral researcher. His focus lies in biochemical assay development, small molecule discovery, and organic synthesis for novel anticancer drugs.
