Inspired by swarming behaviors in nature, self-propelled micro/nanorobotic systems have been proposed, which can move collectively as a response to environmental inputs including magnetic fields, light, ultrasound, electric fields, and chemicals. Unlike a single unit, these synthetic swarms can address many tasks such as cargo delivery, analytes capture and purification for biomedical applications. 

We have focused on the development of synthetic swam intelligence with biomaterials for various biomedical applications.  

Regenerative medicine has opened up remarkable possibilities for restoring damaged tissues and organs within the field of tissue engineering. By harnessing the body’s natural healing processes, it aims to regenerate and repair complex biological structures. In this context, hydrogels, characterized by their softness, high water content, and biocompatibility, have emerged as essential materials, particularly for forming biological tissue interfaces in regenerative medicine. 

We have focused on the development of various hydrogel systems with natural and synthetic polymers.
