Our laboratory integrates synthetic, supramolecular and formulation chemistry with nanotechnology to design advanced delivery systems and sustainable biomaterials. We focus on chemical modification, conjugation strategies and host-guest inclusion complexes to improve the solubility, stability and bioavailability of bioactive compounds. Using nano based approaches such as self-emulsifying systems, nanofibers and liposomal carriers, we translate chemical innovations into effective therapeutic and nutraceutical applications. In parallel, we develop biodegradable active packaging and functional materials from natural polymers using green chemistry principles. Our research also explores cyclodextrin based systems for agricultural biostimulants, aiming to create efficient, scalable and environmentally sustainable solutions. Through a combination of fundamental chemistry and translational research, our goal is to develop innovative, scalable and sustainable solutions with real world impact across health, food and agricultural sectors.
The key themes of our laboratory are:
1. Advanced Drug Delivery & Formulation Chemistry
Our laboratory focuses on designing advanced drug delivery systems using formulation and synthetic chemistry approaches. We develop systems such as nanoemulsions, self-emulsifying systems, nanofibers, liposomes, and inclusion complexes. These strategies improve solubility, stability, and bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs, enabling effective therapeutic outcomes in diverse disease conditions.
2. Supramolecular & Conjugation Chemistry
We explore supramolecular chemistry and chemical conjugation strategies to modify bioactive molecules. This includes cyclodextrin based host-guest complexes and lipid or polymer conjugates to improve stability and functionality. These approaches help in controlled delivery, improved molecular interactions and enhanced biological performance of pharmaceuticals and nutraceutical compounds.
3. Nutraceuticals & Translational Therapeutics
Our research emphasizes translating natural bioactives into effective therapeutic systems. We work on flavonoids, antioxidants, and plant derived compounds to improve their delivery and efficacy. Applications include management of metabolic disorders, neurological diseases, and cancer, bridging the gap between natural products and clinically relevant formulations.
4. Sustainable Biomaterials & Active Packaging
We develop biodegradable films and functional biomaterials using natural polymers such as alginate, carrageenan, and pullulan. These materials are engineered with bioactive compounds to provide antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Our goal is to create sustainable, eco-friendly alternatives to conventional plastics for food packaging and preservation applications.
5. Green Chemistry & Agrobiotechnology
Our laboratory adopts green chemistry principles to design environmentally friendly formulations. We also develop cyclodextrin based delivery systems for plant biostimulants to enhance stress tolerance under adverse environmental conditions. This work supports sustainable agriculture by improving plant resilience, productivity and adaptation to climate stress.
