Ozone based Wound Therapy

Our groundbreaking series of research articles discusses the potential of administering gaseous ozone for infected dermal wounds as a promising alternative. With the burgeoning antibiotic resistance, it's vital to explore other alternatives to treat chronic infectious wounds. Our comprehensive study gives evidence in terms of safety and efficacy for potential application of gaseous ozone in-adjunct with antibiotics to combat such complications

Gut microbiome sampling and Bioengineered probiotics delivery

Our series of investigations highlights a novel direction in accessing hard-to-reach regions of the GI tract using passive, untethered sampling capsules. With the increasing need for noninvasive tools to study host-microbe interactions in situ, this platform provides a compelling method to recover viable microorganisms under physiologically relevant conditions. Alongside this, our ongoing work with bioengineered Lactobacillus strains aims to develop precision probiotics tailored for inflammatory bowel disease, advancing the therapeutic potential of rationally engineered microbes in modulating mucosal immunity.
