Areas of Interest
Over the years, we have been exploring the pharmacological, catalytic and magnetic chemistry of a wide range of transition metals, both in artificial and biological settings.
Synthetic and Bio-Inorganic Chemistry: - Study of biological activity of transition metal complexes in terms of their interaction with biomolecules like double stranded DNA, quadruplex DNA and model proteins and in addition, their insulin mimetic activity. Study of anticancer properties through cell viability assay, study of apoptosis, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), study of mitochondria membrane potential (MMP) and finally through cell cycle analysis.
Molecular Spintronic: - Single molecule magnets (SMM), Molecular magnetic qubits, Single chain magnets (SCM).
