Smart

  Nano-Biomaterials

  for Diverse

Biomedical Applications

Our lab has been actively involved in a group of long-term collaborative projects with several national and international research laboratories, working on synthesis, characterization, and application of smart nano-biomaterials for diverse biomedical applications. We have been mainly interested in exploring the use of super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) in imaging (as contrast agent), antibacterial applications, and drug delivery. Current works include:

    

  • Study effect of sex (gender) on the interaction between cells and nanoparticles - Examining how such gender-specific interactions would influence therapies for various diseases such as cancer.

  • The use of conductive nanoparticles in 3D printing of cardiac tissues to enhance electrical conductivity.

Role of sex in cellular uptake of nanoparticles as an overlooked factor in nanobio interface
