The research interest of my group lies at the interface of chemistry and biology to target cancer and infectious diseases like tuberculosis, malaria, Covid-19, etc, using nanomedicine and developing biodegradable 3D-printable hydro/microgels for type 1 diabetes and tissue engineering applications. We are focused on the following fundamental and interdisciplinary projects where various macromolecular architectures ranging from linear, hyperbranched, dendronized linear, brush polymer, nano and microgels, etc. will be utilized for biomedical applications.

• Polymeric Microgels as Reservoir of Islet Cells for Sustain Release of Insulin
• Reactive Oxygen Species Responsive Amphiphilic Polymers for Drug Delivery
• Design and Development of Homogeneous Dendronized Polymeric Hydrogels for 3D bioprinting of Organoids
