Nanomaterials possess tremendous potential for a wide variety of biological applications as antimicrobial and antitumor agents, biosensors, bioimaging, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Thus, owing to their increasing exploitation in numerous areas, it is very essential to develop environmentally friendly processes of nanomaterial synthesis, such as biological methods using microorganisms, enzymes, and plants/plant extracts.
Our group deals with engineering strategies for functionalizing and creating biocompatible nanomaterials with reduced toxicity and enhanced biological activity. We are also working on developing biosensors for diseases like UTI.
