Research
Moghimi is known for his work in nanoparticle engineering for biomedical applications, nanosafety, and mechanistic understanding of nanoparticle-mediated complement activation. His research focuses on interdisciplinary approaches to nanotherapies.{{Cite journal |last1=Moghimi |first1=S. Moein |last2=Hunter |first2=A. Christy |last3=Murray |first3=J.

His current work includes the development of a concomitant long-term computational network assessment of genomics and epigenomic factors in inter-individual variations to nanomedicine performance and cell re-programming.
Resulting from his PhD research, Moghimi introduced the opsonin-dysopsonin hypothesis, suggesting a regulatory role for certain blood proteins in limiting nanoparticle uptake by macrophages.{{Cite journal |date=2020 |title=Opsonins and Dysopsonins of Nanoparticles: Facts, Concepts, and Methodological Guidelines |journal=Frontiers in Immunology |volume=11 |pages=567365|pmid=33154748 |last1=Papini |first1=E. |last2=Tavano |first2=R. |last3=Mancin |first3=F. |doi=10.3389/fimmu.2020.567365 |pmc=7587406 |doi-access=free }} This hypothesis was later applied to highlight multifaceted mechanisms regulating the pharmacokinetic performance of long-circulating drug carriers.{{cite journal |last1=Moghimi |first1=S.M |last2=Patel |first2=H.M |title=Serum-mediated recognition of liposomes by phagocytic cells of the reticuloendothelial system – The concept of tissue specificity |journal=Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews |date=June 1998 |volume=32 |issue=1–2 |pages=45–60 |doi=10.1016/s0169-409x(97)00131-2 |pmid=10837635 }}{{cite journal |last1=Moghimi |first1=S.M |last2=Muir |first2=I.S |last3=Illum |first3=L |last4=Davis |first4=S.S |last5=Kolb-Bachofen |first5=V |title=Coating particles with a block co-polymer (poloxamine-908) suppresses opsonization but permits the activity of dysopsonins in the serum |journal=Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research |date=November 1993 |volume=1179 |issue=2 |pages=157–165 |doi=10.1016/0167-4889(93)90137-e |pmid=8218358 }}
Moghimi has developed a range of injectable nanosystems, including an early prototype of splenotropic and lymphotropic nanoparticles based on the concept of steric stabilisation and surface engineering with block copolymers. These concepts are applied for splenic and lymphatic targeting with liposomes and polymeric nanospheres.{{cite journal |last1=Moghimi |first1=S.M. |last2=Porter |first2=C.J.H. |last3=Muir |first3=I.S. |last4=Illum |first4=L. |last5=Davis |first5=S.S. |title=Non-phagocytic uptake of intravenously injected microspheres in rat spleen: Influence of particle size and hydrophilic coating |journal=Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications |date=June 1991 |volume=177 |issue=2 |pages=861–866 |doi=10.1016/0006-291x(91)91869-e |pmid=2049107 }}{{Cite journal |date=1994-05-09 |title=Surface engineered nanospheres with enhanced drainage into lymphatics and uptake by macrophages of the regional lymph nodes |journal=FEBS Letters |volume=344 |issue=1 |pages=25–30|pmid=8181558 |last1=Moghimi |first1=S.
