Research Interest - Peptide Nano Technology

Bio-molecular self-assembly uses non-covalent forces such as van der Walls forces, hydrophobic interaction, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, etc. to facilitate the formation of highly organized and thermodynamically stable nanostructures.

Peptide Nano Technology
I am interested to design and synthesize short peptides conjugate for the fabrication of new fascinating nano-architectures and its manipulation. The ability to create ordered nanostructures by strategically designed or bioinspired peptide self-assembly is a significant tool for resolving the complicated assembly process of natural proteins. These nanoparticles are utilized for various biomedical applications such as antibacterial activity, bioimaging, and drug delivery purpose.
