Environmental Applications

Water treatment to remove heavy metals, (e.g. Cd, Pb, Cr) is our lab's focus. Our research basically focuses on synthesis of metal oxide nanocomposites, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and hybrid materials for environmental applications.

Bionanomaterials

Our research goal is to use combinatorial aspects (dissolution mediated, hyperthermia, photothermal etc) to treat cells and develop platforms that help in tissue regeneration.

Nanosafety

Reactivity of nanoparticles (ENPs) is an important property that alters their abundance and is critical in determining their safety. The dissolution status of the ENPs in exposure media, strongly affects the uptake pathway, toxicity mechanisms. Our group studies the toxicological potential of ENPs

Labelling of Nanomaterials

Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) are being extensively produced and used in various sectors. During their production, use and disposal the MENPs release into the environment and emerge as contaminants. Our lab focuses on labelling the ENPs with fluorescent probes and stable isotopes for tracing studies
