We are a new research group housed in the highly interdisciplinary Department of Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD). Here is a little glimpse of our research interest:

Our life cycle is governed by the interplay of molecular signals and mechanical forces across multiple length scales. The last couple of decades have seen tremendous advances in our understanding of the molecular dynamics at the nanoscale to the mechanics at the tissue-scale. However, integrating the two scales still remains a challenge. Our group develops minimalistic theoretical and computational models to understand this connection. We find inspiration from the models of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and active matter to decipher the coupling of mechanics and chemistry that dictate the nanoscale mechanobiology of complex biological processes. We also team up with experimental collaborators to validate the model predictions. Through such combined efforts, we strive to capture nanoscale signatures of various disease conditions and aid the development of personalized healthcare.
