Our research focuses on the bioorganic and biophysical chemistry to understand the molecular self-assembly of biomolecules mainly proteins, peptides, and functionalized amino acids and their applications. At CSIR- CLRI, we develop supramolecular hydrogels based on amino acid-functionalized low molecular mass compounds for potential applications in biology, drug delivery, and environmental pollution by removal of toxic chemicals. Our research group also interested in the identification of potential inhibitors, especially from natural resources, of protein and peptide fibrillation associated with various diseases including type II diabetes, Alzheimer's diseases, etc . Further, the collagen stabilization, inhibitors of collagen fibrillation associated with fibrosis, and biophysical characterization of collagen-like proteins (CLP), believed to be an alternative protein of collagen, are also our area of research interest.
