THILAK RAJ
Direct Ph.D SCHOLAR
My focus revolves around translational research that have a huge market potential in the future. With this basis, I am currently working on active colloids synthesis and development of bio-based micromotors for targeted drug delivery applications.
ANAGHA MANOHAR
Ph.D SCHOLAR
I investigate Liquid liquid phase separation mechanisms in Amyloid fibrils that lead to neurodegenerative diseases.
GOPIKASRI M
M.S STUDENT
I work on biosensors that can be used for early disease detection and detection of environmental toxicants.
SUBHAM CHAKRABORTY
M.S STUDENT
My current research interest lies at the juxtaposition of brain imaging and machine learning.
Dr. G SRISOWMEYA
PROJECT ASSOCIATE
I am primarily interested in developing safe and sustainable alternate for conventional
packaging materials. I am currently working on developing strategies to upgrade the
properties of natural biopolymer based packaging systems that will help us in overcoming the
chronic dependence and burden of petrochemical packaging systems.
RIYA JOSEPH
PROJECT ASSOCIATE
I look into the synthesis of nano-therapeutics to overcome the imbalance between the production and accumulation of reactive oxygen species in astronauts as part of the Gaganyaan Space Mission by ISRO.
ANISHA KABIR
PROJECT ASSOCIATE
My current work focuses on strategies to mitigate oxidative stress in astronauts due to adverse conditions related to extended space travel. I also have an interest in biomaterials and tissue engineering in the field of regenerative medicine.
