Research/Professional Interests:

Our research is focused at the interface between chemistry and biology. Currently we are working in two broader areas: (i) Understanding bio-physicochemical interactions of nanoparticles with cells and cellular components (protein, DNA, lipid etc.) using spectroscopic techniques and (ii) Development of analytical methods/devices for simple, fast, and ultrasensitive detection of target analytes in biological, clinical, and environmental samples.
