A biosensor is a device that detects a chemical or biochemical element based on coupling three different parts; a biological component, an electronic transducer, and a digital detector that works on the principle of electron mobility. The modern biosensor is powered with higher accuracy, shelf-life, selectivity, precision, sensitivity, feasibility, and user-friendliness while lowering costs. We are engineering enzyme-driven biosensor systems to detect and diagnose anomalies in the environment and in biological systems. These systems could either be custom-built for larger applications or tailor-made as required as per the hyperlocal or micro-environments

The rapid boom of industrialization, urbanization, and human population is increasing the global energy demand and is related to continuously raising pollutants levels. There are various methods for the removal of pollutants. But these methods are expensive, require expertise for handling, and also produce some byproducts as a pollutant. There is a need for the treatment of pollutants by using eco-friendly methods. Bioremediation is the process of removal of contamination using microbes or by using enzymes. Our lab focuses on the development of an immobilized enzyme system utilizing waste materials for the treatment of environmental pollutants

Biofilm is an assembly of microbial cells attached irreversibly to a surface. It is enclosed in a polysaccharide matrix, essential for its formation. It has been observed that biofilms that develop on surfaces are hotspots of microbially catalyzed bioremediation processes. In our lab, we explore this extraordinary world of bacterial biofilm communities to understand them for more efficient use as a tool in terms of sensing as well as for remediation.
