Dr Nirod Kumar Sarangi
My research interest revolves around understanding various biophysical phenomena such as membrane-protein, membrane-drug and protein-drug interactions at structured interfaces. Using various surface-sensitive spectroscopic methods such as EIS, Raman and FCS, etc, we aim to understand how drug permeation (passive or active) occurs at different eukaryotic plasma membranes to bacterial membrane

Dr Subrata Mondal
I am a biophysicist interested in understanding fundamental processes that influence neurodegenerative diseases, especially Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. I use a range of spectroscopy and microscopy techniques to investigate the mechanism of protein aggregation, kinetics and dynamics. Additionally, I synthesise novel organic material for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

My project focuses on the design and synthesis of ruthenium based molecular probes for the detection and imaging of cellular stress markers associated with a genetic disorder called cystinosis. These probes will be used to investigate cellular stress responses associated with the disease and to monitor changes following treatment.
