Bacterial cellulose Extraction as a source of Bioplastic:

Our research group has already extracted bacterial cellulose film (in its pure form) from the A. Xylinus culture as shown in the following Scheme 1. This can serve as potential solution to global plastic waste by proposing an alternative way to make green bioplastic for multiple uses.

3D bioprinting for artificial skin/ organ using tissue engineering

In this project (funded by SERB), the fabrication of structurally modified scaffold with biocompatible polymer materials such as chitosan, cellulose, and hyaluronic acid iselectrospunfollowed by bioprintedto guide cell polarization and migration, through which epidermal wound healing may get accelerated. This technology may open up a new possibilities for artificial organ/ skin printing.

Smart Sensors & Advanced Materials:

A summary of the targeted research in the “Sensors & Materials Laboratory” is shown in the below diagram by mentioning the associated ongoing researches. It covered the basic research on biosensing and bioimaging through the development of 1) Fluorescent Sensors/Probes for Biosensing, and 2) Fluorescent Materials for Bioimaging. Those basic researches on sensing and imaging […]
