Area of Interest:
The primary aim of our
research endeavour is in the field of
nanomedicine which is the buzz word used
nowadays in every sphere of life. Our group is
mostly engaged in development of drug delivery
system which yield advances in early detection,
diagnostics, prognostics of cancer. Our research
expertise has resulted in development of
different nanocarriers which have shown
promising results in a wide spectrum of cancer.
Our research activities are not only limited to
drug delivery but has also ventured into areas
of diagnostics with our magnetic nanoparticles
which have resulted in development of realistic
practical applicants as the next generation drug
delivery system and contrast agents. Our recent
formulation i.e. curcumin sponge has been
implicated for wound healing purpose which can
be a boon for diabetic patients. Moreover the
fascinating and unexplored area of polymer
bioconjugate chemistry has also been another
novel area of research our group has undertaken
recently where our pegylated formulations of
anticancer drugs and therapeutic peptides have
resulted in increasing their in vivo longevity
contributing to their enhanced potency. Our
futuristic objective remains overcoming the
multi drug resistance (MDR) effect as well as
crossing the blood brain barrier using our
nanocarriers thereby overcoming all the
shortcoming of conventional therapy.
