Research interest during postdoctoral research
1. Chemical modification of soft material surface
Gasotransmitter therapy in recent times is an alternating approach to combat various therapeutic applications and nitric oxide (NO) is one of them. Our research is to develop various NO-releasing polymers that deliver NO in the presence of suitable stimuli (both endogenous and exogeneous). These polymers are intended for use in a range of biomedical applications, including antibacterial activity, wound healing activity, anticancer activity, and others. Alongside, we also prepare small molecular NO donor to understand the release mechanism.

2. RAFT Polymerization
The development of monomers based on amino acids, sugars, and bile acids is another aspect of our research. Reversible addition fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization is used to polymerize these monomers. These polymers are utilized extensively to comprehend their physicochemical properties, achieve higher order structures, and design drug delivery systems that respond to stimuli. and developing the stimuli responsive drug delivery agents.
