Computational methods for predictive toxicology and nanotheranostics
Artificial Intelligence and Nanotechnology are two fields that have been instrumental in realizing the goal of Precision Medicine. Diagnostic nanomaterials are used to assemble a patient-specific disease profile, which is then leveraged, through a set of therapeutic nanotechnologies, to improve the treatment outcome. Integration of AI approaches can bridge the gap, using pattern analysis and classification algorithms for improved diagnostic and therapeutic accuracy.

Design and development of a Live cell based Bioartificial Liver support system
An approach of developing Live Cell based Bio-artificial Liver Support System (LC-BALSS) was made by embedding metabolically active human hepatocytes within 3D bio-engineered matrix. The initial experimental trials on bioactivity of LC-BALSS was performed by placing it in a perfusion bioreactor system with controlled flow of biological fluids.

Pre-doctoral research work- Genetic variability studies in rare varieties of Banana
Bananas and plantains (Musa spp.) are among the most important crops in tropical and subtropical countries. Genetic variation induction in tissue-cultured plantlets is a promising biotechnology tool to develop new cultivars with better traits such as tolerance against various environmental stresses, resistance against pests and diseases, and improved yield and quality.
